Re: Question about Fall Planting, Tenn Z 7

Here's some suggestions for thought Lenten roses(Helleborus
orientalis),perennial candytuff, wintersweet(calycanthus praecox) perennial
pinks, solomens seal, I do not know of a perennial that can not be planted
in the fall in this zone(7) in fact fall is the best time. (Lets cheat
annuals  shirley/california  poppies, baby blue eyes, johnny jump ups-these
act like they are a perennial here, sweetpeas, parsley, snapdragons
alyssum,) I am not an expert but these work for me.

learned a lot reading others' posts over the past few months.  I am a fairly
new perennial gardener and there is much to learn.  I will be visiting my
father in Memphis TN, (zone 7?) in October, and want to help him prepare
small perennial bed(s) for his small space, which contains a very large tree
that keeps most in shade, or part-shade, and on the dry side.  My thought
was prepare the soil in the bed(s) this visit, and then  in a spring visit,
help him plant the beds with perennials.  But I'd really like to plant
something!
>	My question is, is there anything we could fall-plant that would survive
over the winter, other than pansies, which aren't really perennials, and
maybe mums? Bulbs would need to go in later in the winter, I believe. It
seems I have heard you can plant some perennial plants in the fall, but I
can't locate the information.  Any ideas here would be much appreciated.
