November Newsletter: Time to Freshen Up Those Beds With Fall Flowers!
Cooler weather is here, and it’s the perfect time to give your landscape a little refresh. Fall planting season is in full swing across Acadiana, and our crews are busy adding color and life to flower beds all over Youngsville, Broussard, and Lafayette.
Now’s the Time to Plant Fall Flowers
Fall flowers like pansies, violas, dianthus, and snapdragons thrive in Louisiana’s mild winters. These blooms love cooler temperatures and keep your yard looking bright through the holidays and well into spring.
It’s Also a Great Time to Plant Trees
The cooler months are ideal for planting trees and shrubs. The soil stays warm enough for root growth, and plants have time to get established before next summer’s heat. Oaks, magnolias, hollies, and crape myrtles all do well when planted in fall and early winter.
What You Should Be Doing in the Flower Beds
If you’re updating your beds, here are a few must-dos this month:
- Pull out tired summer plants. Make space for new seasonal color.
- Fluff your mulch. It helps retain moisture, protect roots, and keep things tidy.
- Trim and shape shrubs. Light trimming is perfect this time of year — just avoid heavy pruning on spring bloomers like camellias or gardenias.
- Add fresh soil and fertilizer. Your new flowers will thank you with stronger blooms.
- Check irrigation and lighting. Cooler weather doesn’t mean you can skip maintenance — it’s still key for plant health and curb appeal.
Watch for Pests and Fungus
Even in cooler months, your flower beds aren’t off the hook. Aphids, snails, and fungal leaf spots can sneak in when weather is damp and mild. Keep an eye out for yellowing leaves, soft stems, or chew marks on your flowers. We can help treat and prevent these issues before they spread.
