Benefits to Fall Planting
Cooler temperatures and shorter daylight hours lead to a few benefits:
1. Extra Root Growth: Instead of focusing on leaf and flower production, your new plant can put its energy into extra root growth. This can lead to a hardier plant come next spring.
2. Less Water Required: Plants will be photosynthesizing less, thereby using less water in the fall. A new plant will need a good initial soaking, but will require less supplemental watering in the fall.
