Planting Spring Flowers in the Fall

November 4, 2016 by Nick & Cindy Davis

Fall is the time for … planting? Yep. Prior to stashing your garden tools, invest some effort now for a lovely payback in the spring. Hardy, cold-tolerant bulbs have no problem spending the winter underground, where they will be ready for warming soil and sunny skies to tease them to the surface in the spring. Plus, fall’s crisp days are ideal for working outdoors. Below are a few items to keep in mind when planting spring flowers during the fall.

Planting Spring Flowers in the Fall

Planting Spring Flowers in the Fall

1. Plant a rainbowGive your garden a blast of variety by planting bulbs that produce blooms in a range of colors. Tulip, crocus, daffodil, hyacinth, anemone and iris all are available in a wide range of hues. Be sure that you keep the labels along with the bulbs up until you actually sink them into the ground – you can’t tell red tulip bulbs from white ones just by taking a look at them.

2. Prepare for a long show

Each type of bulb blooms at a different time. Stagger your choices for a continuous blast of color.

3. Don’t feed the wildlife

If deer like to visit your yard, choose bulbs with flavors they don’t really like, including daffodils, scilla, snow drops and grape hyacinth.

4. Make use of your fridge

In warm climates, fall bulbs need to be pre-chilled in order to bloom. Leave them inside their bags and stash them in the fridge for six to ten weeks, suggests American Meadows, a leading online retailer of seeds and bulbs located in Vermont. But don’t store them near fruit, especially apples. Ripening fruit give off ethylene gas that can damage or even eliminate the flowers inside the bulbs.

5. Pointy side up

Set the bulbs in the earth pointy side up. You should not lose sleep over it if you can’t figure out which side is pointy – plant them on their sides and in most cases, the bulbs will figure it out.

Planning on selling your property in the spring? Besides dropping in some bulbs, there are a variety of home improvement projects you might want to consider over the winter to make your home more appealing to buyers.
