Fall weather continues, with lots of leaves changing color and falling. 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.
If you have leaves falling in your yard, consider leaving them in place. Not only does this save you some effort, but leaves can act as natural mulch and return nutrients to your garden soil. In addition, leaves can serve as shelter for overwintering beneficial insects in the garden. If leaves have covered your lawn, you can shred them with your lawnmower or rake them into landscape beds. Read more about leaving the leaves here.
