If you want to enjoy beautiful flowers in spring, you should get active in autumn. Hardy bulbs and flower bulbs are not the only things planted after summer; spring vegetables, perennials, and evergreen shrubs can also go into the ground. Which plants to plant in the fall, and what beginners should know, is explained in the following sections.
Plant hardy varieties in autumn
Anyone who loves bulb flowers such as tulips, crocuses, hyacinths, and daffodils should get to work from September to December. Work compost or fertilizer into the soil and pay attention to planting depth. Partial shade is recommended. Autumn rain usually keeps the roots from drying out, so watering does not need to be as frequent as in spring. The plants can continue rooting until the ground freezes.

In addition to location and light conditions, consider the quality of the soil – whether it is sandy or clay-rich, wet or dry. Perennials planted in autumn should not be cut back for the first time until the following spring. The weather is still mild, the soil is still warm, and gardening work is not especially difficult at this time of year.
Planting trees and shrubs 
Choose an appropriate place in the garden where a tree can reach its full height. Evergreen shrubs suitable for autumn planting include boxwood and laurel. In late summer and early autumn (September and October), it is also time to plant perennials and herbs, because the soil is still warm from the sun. Suitable types include Canadian rosemary, mint, and scented herbs, which can also be planted in containers.
