Why Planting in the Fall Season is Ideal for Your Garden

As the summer heat gives way to cooler temperatures, fall emerges as the ideal time to refresh your Florida garden. While many associate planting with spring, fall offers unique advantages that make it the perfect season for adding new plants to your garden. 

The Benefits of Fall Planting

Planting in the fall provides several key benefits, particularly in Florida’s unique climate:

1. Optimal Growing Conditions: The cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create a less stressful environment for new plants, allowing them to establish strong root systems before the intense heat of summer returns.

2. Extended Growing Season: In Florida, the fall season extends the growing period, giving plants ample time to root deeply and prepare for the next year’s growth cycle.

3. Reduced Pest Pressure: Many pests are less active in the fall, reducing the risk of damage to young plants and allowing them to grow without the intense pressure faced during summer.

At Royal Landscape Nursery, we specialize in perennials—plants that will survive and thrive year-round in Florida’s climate. Here are some top fall-friendly perennials that we have available:

1. Crotons: Known for their vibrant, multicolored foliage, Crotons add a stunning splash of color to any garden. 

2. Plumbago: This beautiful plant features clusters of blue flowers that bloom...

Water

Topiaries require daily watering in Spring, Summer and Fall months in Florida, and a minimum of 3-4 times per week in the Winter months. Improper watering will result in browning of leaves and die-back of branches. We encourage customers to re-pot topiaries into larger containers, using moisture control soil mixtures, in order to reduce potential damage from lack of water.

Sun

Topiaries are for outdoor use only, preferring full to partial sun, and requiring a minimum of 4-5 hours of direct sunlight each day. Plants will defoliate if brought inside or planted in the shade

Temperatures

Eugenia topiaries are recommended for Zones 9-11.
As a general rule, topiaries should be sheltered or covered when temperatures are expected to drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Fertilization

Fertilize at least three to four times a year with a complete formula, e.g. 13-13-13 or 18-6-8. Keep in mind that different fertilizers may be more soluble, or “hotter” than others, potentially damaging roots. Always test new fertilizers by initially applying lower rates in order to determine the plant’s tolerance to the brand of fertilizer used.

Spacing

Please ensure proper spacing for the plant in the landscape. Proper spacing should allow for sufficient light and air flow around plants. Leaves should not touch other plants or objects. Improper spacing may cause disease and leaf drop either due to insufficient light or due to leaves remaining...
