Recommended Summer Products for Landscapers

As temperatures rise heading into summer, fertility programs should focus on maintaining plant health and stress tolerance while avoiding excessive surge growth during periods of heat and inconsistent rainfall.

Quick-release fertilizers should always be thoroughly watered in during summer applications. Applying fast-release products at lighter rates and shorter intervals can help maintain more consistent growth while reducing additional stress during the heat. Slow-release fertilizer programs can also provide steadier feeding and longer-lasting performance throughout the season.

Our recommended summer products:

  • Turf Star Slow ‘n Easy for turfgrass applications

  • ColorStar and its variations for annual color beds and flowering ornamentals

  • NutriStar Rose Food and our NutriStar specialty fertilizer line for targeted plant nutrition

Fertility programs are most effective when paired with strong cultural practices. Mowing height and frequency, irrigation management, and adjusting maintenance practices during periods of heat, heavy rainfall, or other weather issues contribute to overall turf performance through the summer months.
