You really can plant it all in the fall - trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and lawns! Long Island is typically blessed with an extended fall growing season. Warm days, cool nights, and adequate rainfall make it easy for newly-purchased plants to adapt to new planting sites. And even though the nights are cooler, our soils tend to stay warm through much of the fall. That's good news for plant roots that continue to grow until soil temperatures dip down into the high 30's. Another reason to plant it all in the fall - when spring 2013 arrives, you'll enjoy your garden that much sooner.

Imagine enjoying a hardy perennial begonia in your garden, right here on Long Island.... You can, if you grow Begonia grandis, hardy in zones 6-9 (we're zone 7).
This late summer into fall bloomer (actually it should bloom until frost) may be slow to appear in the spring, but be patient. You'll be rewarded with green heart-shaped leaves and pink or white flowers that will offer a slight fragrance in the garden at a time when other perennials have finished flowering. Helpful hint: Good gardeners plant it where the morning sun can streak through its red-veined leaves!
Begonia grandis grows best in shady locations that offer organically-rich, well-drained soils. Properly prepared soils - think compost or composted manure - are needed. Adequate watering is important. A word of warning - never let this plant suffer from drought.
Hardy begonias work well with hostas and ferns in the garden. We have a nice selection of flowering Begonia grandis at Martin Viette that are perfect for fall planting in your garden.
