Fall Planting Nursery Guide

Pixies Gardens Fall Planting Nursery Guide!

As fall approaches, it’s the perfect time to enhance your garden with vibrant seasonal plants. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about buying plants this fall.

Why Choose Fall Plants?

Fall is an ideal season for planting due to cooler temperatures and increased moisture. Studies show that plants planted in the fall often exhibit 20-30% more root growth compared to those planted in spring. This early root establishment leads to healthier plants that flourish come spring.

    Fall Planting vs. Other Seasons: What's the Difference?

    Fall Planting:

    • Root Development: Cooler temperatures and warmer soil in fall create ideal conditions for root growth. Plants focus on root establishment, leading to stronger, more resilient growth in the spring.
    • Reduced Stress: Less heat and lower evaporation rates reduce plant stress, leading to a survival rate up to 30% higher than plants planted in summer.

    Spring Planting:

    • Rapid Growth: Plants grow quickly with increasing daylight and warming temperatures, but they often face transplant shock due to fluctuating spring temperatures.
    • Higher Water Needs: Increased evaporation rates require more frequent watering, which can be challenging in areas with inconsistent rainfall.

    Summer Planting:

    • Limited Options: Summer heat can stress newly planted trees and shrubs, requiring intensive care and irrigation. Certain heat-tolerant species may do well, but most plants struggle to establish in high temperatures.

    Winter Planting:

    • Risk of Frost: While some regions can accommodate winter planting, frost and cold conditions can damage roots and delay growth until spring.

    By choosing fall for planting, you give your plants a head start, ensuring they are well-established and ready to thrive come spring.

    The Best Time for Planting Trees and Shrubs

    The Best Time for Planting Trees and Shrubs
    Research shows that fall is one of the best times to plant trees, shrubs, and flowers. The soil is still warm from summer, providing an optimal environment for root growth, while cooler air temperatures reduce the stress on new plants. This season also provides a longer period for plants to establish themselves before the next summer’s heat.
