SUMMER CLEARANCE AND FALL PREVIEW!
Its still summertime but some areas of the country need to be planting soon and especially in September. If you live in planting zones 4 5 or 6, please plant your fall plantings as soon as possible and defiantly by the end of September. Once the cold weather hits in these areas, plants stop growing roots, your new plantings need as much time as possible to grow enough roots to survive the first winter.

Planting in zones 8 and 9.
If your lucky enough to live in a place where it rarely snows, gets very cold, or it never fells all that cold, you probably live in USDA planting zone 8 or 9. Much of the southern part of the country as well as the extreme west coast are all zone 8 or 9. Places like Phoenix, San Francisco, Houston, Orlando, Atlanta, and Portland, Oregon enjoy mild winters where planting shrubs and trees can happen most of the year.

Planting in zone 7.
We absolutely love living and growing our plants in USDA planting zone 7. We are so lucky in that we can plant almost any time of the year, even in the dead of winter. Here in planting zone 7, our soil rarely freezes therefore we are lucky enough to have root growth throughout the fall and winter. Cool season root growth helps our new fall or winter plantings survive the following summer season.
