Did you know that fall in Virginia is the best time for planting trees, shrubs and hardy perennials? This time of year plants are starting to go dormant for the season. They use the fall and winter to expend their energy growing new roots instead of on the creation of new leaves and flowers. Nurseries and growers also put out their cream-of-the-crop plants this time of year so selection and availability is usually excellent. Plant now to get your plants well-established before the heat and drought of our Virginia summer hits them!
