As summer winds down and temperatures become less intense, you may be tempted to make some changes in your landscape. You may want to add new plants to fill gaps or correct planting mistakes.
But which plants are appropriate to move or plant now and which are best left to next season’s task list?
Plants planted at the end of summer enter a hospitable environment due to more reliable rainfalls and lower, less hostile temperatures.
Successful planting depends on a plant’s roots. Specimens with robust root systems will settle in quickly, benefiting from both the nutrient-gathering and anchoring capabilities of their underground parts. If you choose a plant at your local garden center that is pot-bound, be sure to loosen its roots and spread them evenly in the plant’s new home.
