Extend summer in the garden

Late summer and autumn are wonderful times in the garden. For those who have planted and sown vegetables and fruit, there is much that ripens during this period. Many perennials are at their best now, and roses and hydrangeas are also in full bloom.

Best time for planting in the garden

August to October are excellent months for planting, you can plant shrubs, trees, berries and perennials as long as the frost stays away from the ground. Winter greens and conifers should be planted in August/September, depending on where you live in the country, so that they have time to establish themselves before winter comes. Water well. Consider choosing plants that have a later flowering period so that you can enjoy your garden for a longer period.

Fertilize in the fall

Existing shrubs and plants may need a dose of garden fertilizer. This will make the plants stronger and more protected before winter, and will also make the flowers, berries and fruit trees stronger.

Planting of spring flower bulbs

Autumn is also the time to plan and plant autumn bulbs, such as tulips, alliums, crocuses and scilla. We can already start dreaming about next spring.

Make it autumn-like in outdoor pots

Plant autumn flowers
There are now a lot of lovely options in pots that will last well into winter. Heather, cyclamen, fire top, chrysanthemums, asters, bergenia, hebe, various types of beautiful foliage, silver thread, ivy and much more.

Conifers are suitable for autumn
Conifers in different colors and shapes look great in pots together with heather and cabbage.

Decoration
You can cover parts of the pots with tiles and decorative stones.

Match and create still lifes
Feel free to put different pots together with different plants that go in the same colors and tones.

Light up the autumn darkness

When darkness begins to descend in the evenings, you can make the garden more alive in the form of garden lighting, string lights and candles. Points of light in the form of an illuminated tree or bush make the garden more alive, even in the darkest months. An open fire in a fire bowl or fire basket enlivens the garden. Small light sources in the form of lanterns or torches create a mysterious and cozy atmosphere.

Summer flowers in pots – let them bloom in sun and shade

When the heat finally arrives, beautiful summer flowers abound at Plantasjen. Let them grow and bloom in every corner of the garden and patio, whether it's in sun, shade or partial shade. Here are our best tips!

Outdoor plants and garden

Sow your summer flowers from seeds directly in the garden bed

Direct sowing means skipping the step of starting seeds indoors and sowing directly in the outdoor bed. You get a beautiful bed faster, save indoor growing space, and avoid some of the transplanting and acclimatization of young plants in the spring. You can also sow in the fall for an earlier bloom in the spring. The seeds remain dormant, waiting for the right temperature to begin growing.
