Planting in September ensures your garden looks great this autumn while setting the stage for spring and early crops next year.

Flowers & Bulbs

  • Daffodils, crocus, and alliums: Plant now for spring displays.
  • Violas, pansies, and cyclamen: Great for autumn and winter pots.
  • Hardy annuals like sweet peas: Sow for an early summer head start.

Vegetables
