It’s September … but is it really fall yet?

The calendar says autumn is upon us, but Mother Nature makes the rules.

While it may not feel much cooler, the days are gradually getting shorter — making fall the perfect time to enhance your outdoor living space. (Hint: our Outdoor Living Rebate and WaterSaver Landscape Coupon can help!)

Landscape lacking shade? Now is the time to get some trees in the ground. The mild soil and air temperatures provide excellent conditions for the root systems to begin to grow.

Craving color? Try these stunners:

  • Firecracker plant makes a statement in bold red, drawing the eye and hummingbirds, too.
  • Gulf muhly grasses look magical in fall, with dainty pink seed heads waving in the breeze.
  • Fall aster is a pop of purple perfect for pollinators.

Remember: plants’ water needs (including grass) drop dramatically in fall. Over-watering can lead to plant disease and lawn fungus.
