Quick Tip from Metro Atlanta Landscape (Formally Harbor Bay Landscaping)

The summer’s heat can be extremely detrimental to newly planted vegetation. If you are planting or moving plants, try to wait until the fall. If you really need to plant now, try to do so on a cloudy day or on a day when there is a light rain. Remember to give the plants a significant amount of water before and after planting. Also, make sure to water heavily at least once a day for a few weeks until the plant is established and looks healthy.

 

Don’t neglect your existing plants and trees in this heat, either! Make sure they get more water than usual to combat the high temperatures.

If I want to transplant perinnials, do I still wait for the fall? because they will go dormant and i may notbe able to find them or damage them trying to move them with the foliage gone. any suggestions?
