Gently loosen the soil around your plants and mix in organic matter or plant food to provide nutrients through the winter. Be sure you do not use time-released fertilizer because you do not want to promote “new” growth. You only want to make sure the plants have enough nutrients to continue healthy growth. Deadhead it!
