Fall Is Finally Here...Time For Pumpkins & Mums! |
|
Fabulous Fall Flowers For Your Porch & Beds |

Fall Is For Mums: Now that fall is officially here, it's time to start decorating your porches and patios with colorful mums. These delightful plants love the sunny days and cooling nights of September and October, plus they look great paired with pumpkins!

Caring For Your Mums
Did you know that it's best to buy mums that haven't fully bloomed? It may be tempting to get a mum in full bloom, but for longer-lasting color, buy mums with closed buds instead. Mums need 6-8 hours of full sun per day and prefer moist (but not too wet), well-drained soil. You do not need to fertilize your mums, but removing the old flowers encourages new buds.

Fall Planting Bulbs: Tulips, Daffodils & Many More |
|
In Georgia, fall bulbs are best planted mid-October to the end of November. The more time fall bulbs have to get established before winter, the better. Fall bulbs require a cold period before breaking their dormancy in order to flower in the springtime. |

Hardy Hibiscus Guide
Hibiscus (Dinner Plate) moscheutos will produce large, flat, round blooms up to 10" wide! Plant in the sunniest part of your yard. They will survive in part shade, but this will affect the amount and size of the flowers. Best in loose, moist soil that is amended with organic matter. Does not tolerate standing water. Add layer of mulch in winter & layer of compost in the spring.

Know Your Arborvitae
Arborvitae (Thuja) are easy-to-grow evergreens that can be used in most landscape condition. Due to their overall versatility and attractive year-round looks, they can be used as hedges, in containers, or as a focal point.
