For milder winter areas (zones 8-10), this is the perfect time to plant. For coastal California, fall is also the best time to put plants in the ground. Why? Because the start of the rainy season and mild winters where temperatures rarely go below freezing.

So get out the shovel, prepare your planting beds, and shop our plant recommendations for warmer areas. Now is the time to set the stage in your garden for a grand show of Agastache, Agave, Coreopsis, Bearded Iris, and Salvia. We have 165 plant recommendations in all!

We wouldn’t recommend planting an orange tree in Minnesota or a saguaro cactus in Florida. By knowing what hardiness zone you live in, you can properly select the plants that are best suited to your growing conditions. To help you select plants that will grow best in your area, we give you zone recommendations for each plant in our HCG online catalog.
