Fall has officially arrived! Late-season perennials are blooming in the garden. It is a good time to start thinking about planting for the fall. Fall is an excellent time to plant many perennials, or to divide those that are already growing in your garden. If you’re planning to divide established perennials in your garden, read this article for tips on how to successfully divide perennials in your garden.
Flowers that bloom late in the season are especially important for providing food for pollinators that are still around in the fall. If you don’t have anything blooming during the fall, consider adding some late-blooming perennials to your garden. You can use the NC Extension Gardener Plant Finder to help select plants that fit your needs.
