Is fall really a good time to plant native perennial flowers and grasses?
🌿🌱🌾YES 🌿🌱🌾
While the heat of summer is subsiding, our soil will retain its warmth well into fall. The warm soil retains moisture, and encourages newly planted perennial native plants to invest their energy and resources into growing a strong root system. This optimal soil environment reduces shock and minimizes stress when transplanting young plants giving them a strong start.
Healthy root growth is key for the long term success of any perennial, so planting in the fall can set the stage for a thriving landscape come spring.
You will still need to care for your newly planted natives and ensure they have proper watering well into the fall, but you will be well rewarded come spring.
