Fall Color

Mums, Pansies, Celosia, Ornamental Peppers, Ornamental Cabbage & Kale and Alyssum are some of our Texas fall favorites. Feel free to ask any of our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals for more options specific to your containers or flowerbeds.

For existing flowerbeds, remove any weeds and old plant material from the area. Till two inches of Calloway’s Premium Flowerbed Garden Soil into the topsoil. Make sure to properly mulch after planting new fall color, trees or shrubs to lock in soil moisture and protect their roots during the fall and winter months.

We all know Texas weather can be unpredictable. As we have seen in the past couple of years, winter weather can hit fast and hit hard. Get prepared now and be ready to protect your plants. Pick up your N-Sulate Frost Protection Blankets. N-Sulate is formulated to resist UV degradation, and it allows air and water to easily pass through the fabric.

Fall annuals in Texas may face challenges from a range of pests and diseases. Here are some common issues and guidance on prevention and control. Pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites are known culprits, while diseases like powdery mildew, blight, and root rot can also affect your plants.

To manage these concerns, consider cleaning up plant debris and keeping an eye on your plants for early signs of trouble.

The key to effectively watering garden mums involves several important practices. Watering in the morning allows the soil ample time to dry throughout the day before evening, preventing moisture-related issues. Always water at the base of the plant, avoiding overhead watering to keep leaves and flowers dry. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plants serves to retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature, reducing the need for frequent watering. It’s essential to monitor for signs of both overwatering and underwatering, such as wilting, yellowing leaves, or consistently dry soil, and adjust your watering routine accordingly.
