Plants for Fall

Fall is around the corner, which means you need to adjust your garden accordingly.  Since the temperatures will be dropping, you will need stronger, more dependable plants.  So here is a list of some of the most "Fall Worthy" plants:

1. October Glory
 - September is a great time to plant a red maple, known as an October Glory.  These trees grow 50 to 60 feet tall, and can be found at most garden centers.

2. Plentifall Pansies
 - These pansies can survive below- zero temperatures with little damage, so they should bloom from fall through spring.  They are trailing pansies and spread 18 inches.

3. Iceland Poppies
 - Available at garden centers, these poppies are bright, beautiful, and legal.  Start them in the fall and by next spring, you will have beautiful poppies.

4. Pitcher Plants
 - Native to the South, these pitcher plants combine colorful flowers with striking, tube-like pitchers that trap and digest insects.  All they need is sun and acid, moist soil.

5. Moss
 - If grass won't grow in a damp, shady area, moss will!  Moss stays green year round and doesn't need much looking after.
