How Late Can You Plant in the Garden? Late Autumn & Winter - Shrubs, Trees, Perennials

Dec 29, 2025
Gardening is not a cheap pastime! So when we see those plants for sale in late autumn and early winter, it is a great opportunity to add some new gems to the garden. Or is it too late in the year to get them safely into the ground? In this video I give a general rule of thumb as to whether or not it is safe to add plants (shrubs, trees and perennials) into our garden beds this late in the season. After determining if we can or not, I go through a handful of tips as to how to most effectively get our plants in the ground, ensuring they make it through winter with success. The benefits of getting our plants in the ground in the autumn or early winter are manifold compared to plants that will get planted the following spring. This is like a secret weapon to helping our plants get established more quickly into our gardens so they can begin growing and ultimately reach their largesse even more quickly. I am demonstrating with a lovely Ilex crenate 'Steeds' and a Viburnum opulus. #fallplanting #gardening #wintergarden Great plant tools and accessories: https://amzn.to/474lWzn Deer Scram Repellant: https://amzn.to/3RlF1Y3 ******************************* My favorite plants products: Best Deluxe Growlight: https://amzn.to/3Tz3Vm1 Best Inexpensive Growlight: https://amzn.to/3hz2gzV Growlight Bulbs: https://amzn.to/3G3bZIS Clamp On Growlights: https://amzn.to/3TCgqxy Rooting Hormone: https://amzn.to/3Uujxsx Best Fertilizer for Foliage Growth: https://amzn.to/3fUACgi Best Fertilizer for Flowering: https://amzn.to/3WRkcFY Fungus Gnat Help: https://amzn.to/3UO4A4h Floral Tape: https://amzn.to/3A6vH2B Insect Control: https://amzn.to/3A3DgHe Pruning Shears: https://amzn.to/3A6vQDb Timer for Grow lights: https://amzn.to/3TnuYAU
