Is it OK to plant in the fall season?

We get asked this one A LOT. The answer is: Absolutely!

In fact, planting in the fall season is encouraged.

Planting in the fall gives the plants more time to acclimate and root in before the warmer spring and summer months arrive. Planting them now will also allow you to enjoy the winter and springtime blooms vs missing out on them.

For all our “snowbirds”… “why not enjoy your beautifully landscaped yards now during the upcoming holiday and backyard party season?”
Remember… we specialize in growing cold-hardy plants, shrubs, ground covers, and trees in case the cooler weather concerns you. We grow many varieties of colorful and blooming cold-tolerant plants like Azaleas, Bottlebrush, Roses, Indian Hawthorn, and Loropetalum to name a few.

Fall is a perfect time to plant Azaleas!

AzaleaFormoza-treeFall presents a wonderful time of year to plant those azaleas you’ve been longing for in your landscape or plant garden.

Azaleas begin their budding process in the cooler winter months and those buds become breathtaking blooms beginning in March.

You will be one step ahead of the mad dash to purchase and plant your azaleas in the spring by planting them now.  Azaleas are the perfect answer for a spectacular punch of color in any landscape!

Azaleas grow well under trees in shaded and filtered light areas.  Soil conditions must be well drained and acidic.  If soil is low on nitrogen, then fall and spring fertilization is a must.  Azaleas also benefit from mulching, pine straw and/or compost as it aids in keeping the weeds down and provides nutrients as well.
