Fall is Here & It's the Perfect Time to Plant!

10/1/2024

 
Fall is one of our favorite seasons here in the Charleston. The cooler weather after summer's intense heat and humidity is so refreshing! It's so invigorating, in fact, you may even notice plants in your garden starting to perk up with an offering of fresh blooms and new growth.

For this reason, fall in South Carolina is a lot like a second spring. Better yet, the temperatures will only decrease going into winter. This means planting right now will give your new plants lots of time to get established, go to sleep for winter, and wake up gently in spring before having to face their first summer heatwave! 

Benefits of planting trees, shrubs, and hardy perennials in Fall:

  • New plantings experience less transplant shock in fall. Without the additional stress of summer's excessive heat soon after being planted, plants can more easily adapt to their new surroundings. While soil temperatures are 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above, root growth will continue.

  • When the weather is cooler, watering new plantings isn't as much of a chore. We always recommend irrigation as the best way to manage watering. However, if you don't currently have irrigation, cooler temperatures can work in your favor!

  • Your fall-planted landscape will reward you greatly come spring when it wakes up ready to put energy into new shoots, stems, and leaves!

A selection of trees currently available for Fall planting:

Visit us soon to explore our full selection of trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, and annuals!
  • Red Flame Maple - Fast-growing shade tree with colorful new growth.

  • Bald Cypress - Fast-growing native tree that’s great for wet locations.

  • Dahoon Holly - Native evergreen with attractive foliage and berries. (Only female trees have berries.)

  • Japanese Maple - Beautiful specimen tree highly prized for its vibrant Spring and Fall color.

For Fall Planting Success:

We highly recommend amending the soil in your planting area with Brownswood Premium Planting mix as well as a starter fertilizer such as Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus to give your new plants their best start. You can find our Planting Guide at the link below. It provides planting instructions and helpful information about watering and getting new plants established. We look forward to seeing you at the Garden Center!
