March: Boost Your Lawn and Garden March is a vibrant month for planting and nurturing. Install citrus trees in full sun with good drainage, and plant hibiscus or poinsettias for added beauty. Fertilize your lawn and shrubs with a slow-release formula (16-1-18 or 21-3-3) to prepare for the warmer months. After azaleas and dogwoods finish blooming, prune and fertilize them to encourage new growth. Ensure seedlings are transplanted by mid-month to avoid heat stress, and water all new plants thoroughly to promote healthy roots.
