What would a garden be without lush blooming summer flowers? Perennial and annual plants meet here. But again and again it happens that summer flowers hang their heads for some reason and wilt
start to .
Loosen the soil and water
If it is due to excessive drought, then the means to an end is simple: loosen the soil and water vigorously. But not always enough water is the reason.

The wilting of summer flowers can also be caused by animals or fungi. Fungi, like caterpillars or other insects, can damage roots through the soil, causing plants to wilt and eventually die.
Dispose of diseased plants
But what to do if the roots are affected? Then the only thing that helps is digging up and disposing of the diseased plants (disposal with household waste, not with the compost). The soil should be examined for pests. If these are found, then remove the earth over a large area - as far as possible.
Neighboring plants should not be moved if possible, as this could unintentionally spread the pests in the garden.
