When to plant
|
|
The best time to plant in your area depends on climate, rainfall patterns and the species being planted. In cold climates, plant annuals, perennials or a mixture of annuals and perennials in spring, early summer or autumn. Autumn sowing should be late enough so that the seeds do not germinate until spring. Perennials can also be sown in autumn down there at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for winter. In temperate climates, the plants during the colder months of the year, fall through spring, for best results.

of water applied should be gradually reduced.
