Don’t fret! Early fall is the perfect time to start tackling these outdoor tasks. Along with the new season comes new hope for a renewed landscape and extra curb appeal. Just as basic landscape maintenance is in order, so are new fall plantings. Many aren’t aware that fall is the best time of year for new plantings! Plants are beginning to slow down from their busy growing season, temperatures are cooler, and roots have time to become established for spring and summer of next year. I recommend adding some fall bloomers to a maybe boring area of your garden to jazz it up a bit and add color while you have time. Here are some of my favorite picks for fall.
Next is the Dwarf Sasanqua. It is a tried and true late fall bloomer that does well in full sun and part shade. It is a mid-level shrub that blooms in pink, red, and white. It is perfect as an evergreen foundation planting.
I hope this brings you much enjoyment this year. If you don’t feel like doing the heavy lifting yourself, give Louisiana Horticulture Services a call at (318) 715-1883 for a free quote and consultation.
