Dallas Arboretum: September Gardening Tips
Fall is almost here and that means it's time for seasonal fall plants and flowers. Follow these tips to help your yard look its best throughout the month of September.
- Plant annual color, such as mums, marigolds, and ornamental peppers, to add seasonal interest to the autumn garden.
- Deadhead spent rose flowers to keep shrubs blooming throughout the season. Now is the time to plant new rose shrubs.
- In the vegetable garden, plant cool season veggies, such as carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, and mustards, to be harvested through the fall and winter months.
- Start planting trees, shrubs, and perennials as cooler autumn temperatures will help plants establish roots before winter.
