Planting perennials in fall can establish roots for hotter weather
There is really no better time to enhance your landscape by planting perennials in the fall. By planting in the fall, the root systems can continue to develop throughout the cooler months and be ready for hot weather in the spring and summer.
Two important secrets to growing perennials successfully are watering and controlling weeds. Following planting, thoroughly water plants to settle the soil. Then supply an adequate amount of water during the establishment period. Mulch the plants and hand remove weeds to cut down on competition. Do not over mulch in the fall as this may lead to crown rot, 3 to 5 inches of mulch is sufficient.
Perennials planted now typically do not need any fertilizing until spring.
Over time most perennials eventually become overcrowded and thus do not bloom as well and require division. Mature clumps can be cut or pulled apart in the fall. Division should contain three or five shoots or growing points.
Even though perennial plants may be established in the fall, they can also be sown from seed or planted as small bedding plants in the early spring. Either way they should bloom the first growing season.
