 FALL IS FANTASTIC! Why plant in the FALL? 

• Cooler air temperatures mean much less stress on the plant and more energy for root establishment. 
• Ground temperatures cool much slower than air temperatures in autumn allowing for a long season of root establishment. Roots will grow as long as soil temperatures stay above 40F and that’s December for us. 
• Ground temperatures take a long time to warm in spring meaning root growth and establishment takes far longer in spring than fall. 
• Natural moisture is more available in fall for plants allowing for easier establishment in the landscape and less need for gardeners to apply water in most fall seasons. Shorter days mean slower evaporation rates. Water “works better” in fall. 
• Fall planting and establishment in the in the landscape allows plants to grow with far less stress the following spring. Fall planting also means the ENTIRE spring show is at your house, not faded flowers from the store!
