Growing Old - June 24th, 2006 at 10:01 PM
I have a hanging basket of petunias that has performed very well for me but is getting old. I say that because as the trailing stems grow further down they continue to bloom but the area from the soil to the next 4 inches or so is bare stem. Male pattern balding? What can I do to encourage this area to begin growing again? Will I have to cut back the plant and lose the blooms on the lower stems? If I have to I have to but was hoping someone knew how to avoid this and get the entire plant beautiful again.
