Spring and autumn are ideal plant times for good reason – the temperatures a day are milder, the rains are plenty of and the nights are usually cooler. Summer temperatures and intensive sunlight burden excess plants. Under these conditions, plants quickly lose water, which increases the risk of drying out plant tissue. Even in summer, water is often less available, which further tightens the problem. While it is possible to plant some types in the summer heat, it is unlikely that other plants will survive due to their physiology or their production method.
When planning to buy and install new plants, it helps to understand the proper planting time, depending on how plants are manufactured and packed in kindergarten. The plants are grown and sold using one of three common methods: containers, mere root or formed and shortened. Container plants are grown and sold in containers. These are usually more adaptable when it comes to planting time, and include many trees and shrubs as well as one -year -olds, perennials, vegetables and ornamental grass.
Care root plants are dug out of the ground when they are resting and are sold on their roots without earth. They should be treated carefully and planted in late winter or early spring while they are still in the resting state. Roses, shrubs, strawberries and many fruit trees and shrubs are usually available as bare root plants.
Finally, larger trees and shrubs can be sold and convicted or B&B plants. These are dug around the roots with a large floor ball. Spring and autumn are ideal times to plant B&B plants, although they can be successfully installed with additional care in the summer months.
Another group of plants that are carefully attentive are yearbooks and perennials that are adapted to growth in cooler weather. This includes ornamental plants as well as herbs and vegetables. One -year -olds in these groups are usually referred to as yearbooks with a cool season and in autumn or late winter for growth during autumn and spring either planted. Some perennials are also better adapted to cool weather and should not be planted in the heat of the summer. It is also best to avoid perennials and other plants in the summer months due to the unnecessary stress, perennial and transplant perennials and other plants.
It is unlikely that the following plants will survive or thrive when they are planted in summer. You save time, money and stress by waiting to plant it at a more ideal time.
