Pro Tip for Late Season Plantings
Fall is the perfect time to plant woody plants. Here’s how to ensure that they thrive:
- Water them thoroughly at planting.
- Continue to water once a week until they lose their leaves (or until the ground freezes for evergreens).
To give your new trees and shrubs an extra boost, use Root Stimulator at the time of planting. Here’s how:
|
|
- Mix the Root Stimulator concentrate in a bucket of water and apply according to the directions on the container.
- Root Stimulator contains phosphorus fertilizer as well as auxin, the plant hormone that promotes root growth.
- Available in multiple sizes, starting at $9.99. A little goes a long way!

|
Fall planted trees and shrubs will continue growing roots whenever the ground is warm enough, making them established and ready to leaf out by the time that spring rolls around!

Fall Cleanup for a Healthier Garden
|
|
Fall cleanup may feel like just another chore, but it holds the key to nurturing a vibrant ecosystem in your own backyard. In this article, we’ll explore three simple yet effective strategies to prepare your garden for winter while supporting local wildlife.
- Learn thoughtful ways to manage fallen leaves that benefit both your garden and its inhabitants.
- Discover how using wood mulch can keep pesky weeds at bay in your flower beds while helping plants to overwinter.
- Find out how cutting back perennials can create habitats for stem-nesting pollinators.
|
|
These wildlife friendly methods will not only beautify your space, but also nurture your garden's health. As a bonus, they're often less labor intensive than conventional garden cleanup methods.
Let's dive in!

As autumn paints the landscape with vibrant hues, the annual ritual of fall leaf cleanup begins. Taking a thoughtful approach to this task can help to keep your garden healthy.
|
|
|
|
While it's tempting to clear every leaf, leaving some areas untouched can provide habitat for overwintering insects like fireflies, butterflies, and moths. Here’s how to do it:
- Remove or mow over leaves on the lawn while they're dry, to prevent them from sticking together or suffocating the grass.
- Mowing the leaves can return valuable nutrients to the soil of your lawn. The smaller leaf fragments will break down and work their way back into the soil.
- Create designated piles of whole leaves in less-trafficked areas, or leaf-litter circles around trees. This reduces maintenance and provides shelter for insects without harming your lawn. As a bonus, the trees will benefit from reduced grass competition.
By adopting this balanced approach, you'll maintain a healthy lawn as well as a healthy ecosystem!

Beat the Weeds with Wood Mulch
|
|
|
|
Keep your garden thriving this fall with wood mulch!
Mulching in the fall offers a multitude of benefits for your garden:
- Protect Your Plants: Mulch acts as a protective layer, shielding your plants' roots from frost and temperature fluctuations, ensuring they remain healthy and strong throughout the winter.
- Suppress Weeds: Mulch prevents overwintering weeds and reduces the need for spring weeding, saving you time and effort. A 2-3" layer of wood mulch forms a barrier that inhibits weed growth, keeping your garden beds tidy and weed-free.
- Prevent Soil Erosion: Mulch safeguards your soil from erosion caused by winter winds, rain, and snow, maintaining the integrity of your garden beds.
- Enrich Your Soil: As mulch breaks down, it releases essential nutrients and minerals, enriching your soil and promoting healthier plant growth come spring.
Need mulch? Call Stone Market at 309-689-2513 to schedule a delivery, or stop by and pick up your mulch in bulk, using our convenient weigh and pay system. You can view our pricing and materials list or use our bulk materials calculator at hoerrnursery.com/stone-market-1.

Compromise when Cutting Back
|
|
|
|
For a tidy garden that continues to support native wildlife over winter, selectively prune some perennials while leaving others intact.
- Leave strategic seedheads, both for ornamental value and for birds.
- Cut hollow or pithy-stemmed perennials 8-18" tall to benefit cavity nesting pollinators.
- Suitable nest plants include:
Anise hyssop
Aster
Bee balm
Black-eyed susan
Blazing star
Bluestar
Cardinal flower
Coneflower
Cup plant
Culver's root
Fennel
Garden phlox
Golden alexanders
Goldenrod
Hardy hibiscus
Ironweed
Joe-pye weed
Meadow rue
Milkweed
Obedient plant
Pink muhly grass
Rattlesnake master
Stonecrop
Switchgrass
This approach not only benefits wildlife but also adds texture and visual appeal to the winter garden.
|
|
|
|
A mindful approach to garden maintenance can yield significant benefits for both your landscape and local ecosystems. By implementing these techniques, you're not just preparing your garden for winter—you're creating a thriving habitat that supports biodiversity year-round.
Happy gardening!
