Links & ResourcesHome & Garden Information CenterIf you have questions regarding problems with plants (particularly diseases, insects, and other pests), we recommend contacting the Home and Garden Information Center. This fantastic resource, run by the University of Maryland, has experts on hand to answer gardening and pest questions. Visit their website (www.hgic.umd.edu) or call 1-800-342-2507. Outside of Maryland, call 410-531-1757. Ethel M. Dutky, former Director of the University of Maryland Plant Diagnostic Laboratory, has released an article about drought stress. The article details the physical symptoms of drought stress to landscape plants and gives suggestions for preventing drought-related damage. The article also provides lists of landscape plants that may be at the greatest risk during prolonged droughts and lists of landscape plants that are more stress tolerant. Download the PDF here or visit the Plant Clinic web site. The best way to help your newly installed plants survive periods of dry weather is to follow our watering instructions. Always check soil moisture before watering. If necessary, increase watering frequency from two times per week to every other day.
