Check here often to see what's new at the nurseries and what you should be thinking about planting. We can't put everything on the page, so come on in to either of our locations and see what fabulous finds we've been bringing in for you!
Fall Fertilizer
It's time to apply your fall lawn fertilizer/winterizer for quicker turf green-up come springtime. A healthy, well-fed lawn is the best defense against disease, insect damage and weed infestation. Our Rainbow Gardens fall fertilizer is specially formulated for our region. We recommend applying it the first few weeks of October for best results.
Wildflower Seeds
You need to plant wildflower seeds in fall if you want the beautiful wildflowers of San Antonio to grace you with their beauty in spring. Lucky for you, we've got you covered. We have a great selection of individual wildflower seed packages so you can pick and choose exactly what wildflowers you want popping up in your personal wildflower meadow. Oct-Nov are ideal months for gettin these easy-grow seeds into the ground.
Fall Mums (Chrysanthemum)
The cheery pompom-like flowers of the chrysanthemum just scream fall. Nothing propels you right into the upcoming fall holidays like a pot full of colorful mums. Did you know that planted in the ground, they are perennials and can come back year after year? Whether you pot them up on your front porches to welcome the new season, or find a spot for them in your gardens, mums are a cheerful way to say, it's fall y'all!
Fall Veggies
The temperatures have taken a turn, thank goodness, so our cool-weather veggie options have ramped up. Don't wait too long to get your veggies in the soil, as our growing seasons are relatively short in San Antonio. Come choose from cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, kale, greens and more fabulous fall selections of vegetables.
Fresh Herbs
Herbs thrive in our cooler fall temperatures (yes, they will come). Fall is a great time to plant perennial herbs, and also cool season annual herbs. Many herbs attract the pollinators that flow through our city in fall, so grab some fresh selections for both you and the butterflies and bees.
Fresh Fall Annual Color
The weather is about to cool off and so are our annual selections. We are bringing in fresh color to take you into the fall and winter seasons. Be patient with planting annuals that need consistant cool temperatures like pansies, and Johnny Jump Ups. Even though we may bring some into the nursery (commercial comapnies buy them early), you'll have the best luck planting them in your home gardens when the weather has truly turned cooler.
Pollinator Attracting Perennials
We are so lucky living in San Antonio. Fall not only gives us a second round growing vegetables, but it gives us a second round of gorgeous color in our landscapes. And many of these gorgeous plants pull triple duty by providing host and nectar sources for fall pollinators while also providing a beautiful bloom display for us! Loading up on plants like milkweeds, salvias, flame acanthus, cupheas, etc...will give you the best chance for the best seat to watch the pollinator parade that heads through our city in fall!
New Houseplants to Freshen Your Indoor Spaces
Both of our locations have been bringing in fresh orders of gorgeous houseplants. Just one plant in a room can liven up your decor, and clean up the air indoors. With our great variety of selections to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect plant for your indoor spaces.
Fall SAWS Watersaver Landscape Coupon Plants
That's right, SAWS has opened enrollment for the fall program of their Watersaver Landscape Coupons and we've got the plants to fulfill it! This is a great time to look around your landscape and see areas that you can replace 200 sq. ft. of water-sucking turf with a garden full of water-wise plants. Check out the links for more info.
Mulch
The mulch in your gardens should be checked each season. Mulch applied during the fall season helps to suppress weeds in the garden, and helps to regulate temperatures in the soil. The difference between a tender perennial that survives a texas winter and one that does not sometimes comes down to whether or not the plant was sufficiently mulched to protect it. Stock up now and tackle this garden chore when the weather cools and is pleasant to work in.
