Fall Care for Perennials

Water frequently throughout the fall, especially during dry periods.

Apply small quantities of bone meal on the soil around the base of your plants, this is good for root development.

Should you have any perennials in raised patio gardens or containers, these plants will need to be transplanted into
the garden. Allow at least three weeks prior to final freeze for the roots to establish.

Cut your plants back in the spring! Pruning in the spring increases the plants survival rate over winter. Growth left standing traps snow, and for plants and roots, snow is excellent protection. Lilies and peonies are exceptions to this rule, and also are better to be divided in the fall, where all other perennials are best divided in the spring. If you insist on cutting them back, wait until the plant leaves become brown and dry, green branches feed roots. Never cut back biennials or evergreen perennials, and do not cut back newly planted [this year] perennials. New plants need the extra protection that snow provides, and leaving top-growth intact helps trap snow on them.

Just before the ground freezes in late fall, water all plant heavily again to prevent root damage by cold, dry soil.

For those plants that may be on the edge of hardiness for our zone area, a good idea is to mulch these plants with about 12 of mulch material. A very good material for this is peat moss, as it allows air to penetrate, but keeps the extreme cold off the roots. Leaves and grass clippings are not advised as they will rot. Another good cover material is spruce branches. Sprinkling garden soil over the top of the peat will help it stay in place.

September is the best time to split and move peonies.
