What to Plant in Fall?
"Jenny" wrote in message ... This is my first year planting perennials. I'd greatly appreciate some tips about what I should consider planting this fall. In particular I need to find out what stuff, besides tulips and daffodils , has to be planted in the fall in order to bloom the next year. Bulbs? seeds? potted nursery plants? All suggestions welcome! I'm in the colder part of Zone 5 on a partly shaded hill near the MA/VT/NH border. Fall is generally a good time for planting, provided your fall is cool and moist. You can plant virtually any potted plant or containerized shrub or tree. I like to give them a good 6 weeks to settle in before nasty weather sets in. Another good reason for planting in the fall is that nurseries and garden centers are cleaning out their plants because they can't or don't want to hold them over until spring. That means you can get some good bargains. There are many plants for shade. I would also suggest that you order some catalogs for reference. You can get some good ideas of what would be appropriate at www.bluestoneperennials.com If you look under the online catalog tab, there is a custom search feature. |
