 You make the call, and my garden adapted rules. Watch for stalk reduction sales from now almost until frost. Fall is the best time to plant since it gives the new planting seven or eight months to establish their root systems before the next summer settles in. Nurseries have outstanding selections now, and they will all through the rest of the summer and into the fall. Many of them are plants that have been in the same pot since early spring. They're full, and they're vigorous, and they're beautiful. Shop several nurseries and compare prices and pot sizes and quality.
