Winter Watering Tips

 Even though landscape plants are dormant and brown, they should be watered periodically.
When to water 

• Water one to two times per month from November to April. 
• Choose a warm winter day with air temperature above 40 degrees and unfrozen soil. 

What to water 

• It is most important to water newly planted lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers. 
• Established lawn areas and trees, especially those in sunny, windy, or exposed areas should also be a high priority. 
• Do not winter water cacti, succulents, buffalograss, blue grama and very xeriscape plants. 

How to water 

• Use a hose-end sprinkler or watering wand. Set a timer so you don't overwater.
• Remove the hose from the spigot after watering to prevent freeze damage. 
• Water slowly so it can soak in.
