Re: Question about Fall Planting, Tenn Z 7

Hi

Most perennials benefit from planting in the Autumn wintering over and then
going for 
it in the Spring.  I find it gives them a boost for a fantastic
summer/spring display.

> I would like to introduce myself by way of this first post, although I
have 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!

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.
