Why Plant Spring Bulbs in the Autumn?
It's because bulbs require a long period of cool temperatures to spark the biochemical process that causes them to flower next spring. It's important to get them into the ground in the autumn after the weather cools, but before the ground freezes.
What's On the Shelves?
You'll find a variety of colorful spring favorites! Choose from a selection of tulips, crocus, iris, snowdrops, daffodils, and more.

Pansies planted this month will stay in bloom until the ground freezes! Mulch them for winter protection, and these hardy plants will be back in flower when the warm days of spring return. They're great companions for spring-flowering bulbs.
Lawns grow best in spring and fall! They'll benefit greatly from two more feedings. In September, fertilize your lawn with Green Thumb Lawn Fertilizer. Then in mid-October, follow with Green Thumb Winterizer. Your lawn will thank you next spring! In addition, bindweed, dandelions, and other perennial weeds will be moving food reserves down to their roots now. This is a great time to use
Ferti-lome's Weed Free Zone to kill these invasive weeds, roots and all.
Avoid excessive pruning of trees and shrubs because pruning encourages new growth to begin, and you want the plants to harden off before going into
dormancy for the winter.
