Fall Planting Gives Gardens a Head Start

Why Autumn Can Beat Spring for Establishment

Landscape architect Martin Mosko of Boulder, Colorado, finds that when weather stays mild, fall-planted gardens gain a "year's growth" over spring plantings. His October-started garden features a wall framing bright pink peonies, white-striped moss pink, cerise dianthus, purple veronica, and blue-violet hardy geraniums.
