Watering Annuals

Annuals are shallow rooted so don't allow the soil to dry out too deeply. Begin watering in the morning and water through the heat of the day. Stop in mid-afternoon to allow the plants to dry off before nightfall. Night waterings can create ideal conditions for disease development. During periods of very hot weather, water earlier in the morning.
