• What is dry soil?– Anoka County Sand Plain– Spaces between grains of sand are
large– Water leaches easily, soil dries out
fast– Low ability to hang on to nutrients
![Page 3: Dry soil](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56813c0a550346895da5744d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Gardening in dry/shaded areas– Amending with 3-6” organic material– Apply 3” of mulch to keep soil moist– Fertilize more often– Space plants farther apart – Stake tall plants as they will grow
toward the light– Do not put additional soil over tree
roots

Dry Soil:
Annual Foliage Plants• Foliage plants are invaluable for
obtaining an attractive colorful look.
• In a container, foliage can reinforce a color theme or blend the disparate elements of various bloomers.
![Page 7: Dry soil](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56813c0a550346895da5744d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• In the ground, annual foliage can carry a summer display through the quiet times between perennial flowering periods.
• Plants listed may be perennials in other zones, but are used as annuals in our northern gardens.
![Page 8: Dry soil](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56813c0a550346895da5744d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A word about establishment: Initial care must be taken to establish the plantings for the first two weeks, whether from seed or bedding plants.
• They require only light watering however; DO NOT overwater or plants will be floppy and disease-prone.
• Unless indicated these prefer full sun and average soil conditions of fertility, drainage, and pH.
