What is the best time of the year to plant trees & shrubs?
Anytime the ground is not frozen, you can plant/transplant. We recommend planting when it works for you & your schedule, and when the selection of the plants you are looking for is the best. There are considerations to make when planting in the summer. Due to the typically hot, dry weather, a watering routine is crucial for your plant to thrive and to minimize the chance of transplant shock. We also recommend using Fertilome Root Stimulator regularly, per the label directions. Tender annuals such as Impatients, Periwinkle, or Geraniums and Vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) must wait for frost free nights. Our average last frost date in Evansville is April 13th.
