BANTING'S PLANTINGS
February 2020
Happy Mardi Gras
Parades and King Cake! That's what it's all about this time of year, but did you know that now is the right time to start controlling weeds in your lawn? And if you're dreaming of Spring color, see below to learn more about the new annuals and perennials we're growing at Banting's.

Stop Weed Seeds from Sprouting
Nothing could be easier then nipping it (those pesky weeds) in the bud, especially before those weeds have a chance to germinate.

Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed & Grass Stopper with Dimension is our go-to Pre-emergent. It stops the weed seed from sprouting up in your lawn and beds which saves you the aggravation of pulling weeds.

Applied several times a year it will control cool and warm season weeds.
