Fall care in the Cross Timbers
What to do right now for plants commonly grown here. Each links to the full regional care guide for that species, with sources.
- Indian shot
Remove spent blooms, then cut the plant to the ground after the first frost.
- Heart leaf ampelopsis
Berries ripen from late summer into fall and birds use them.
- Cinnamon fern
Fronds turn yellow and die back with the first frost. Fall is also a good time to plant new cinnamon ferns before next year's heat arrives.
- Carolina buckthorn
Fall is the better season to plant or transplant a Carolina buckthorn in North Texas, since cooler air and still warm soil let roots establish before winter.
- Mexican bird of paradise
Fall is a good second planting window for this shrub, and it keeps flowering into early fall as temperatures cool.
- Eastern beebalm
Bloom fades by early fall. This is the season to stop deadheading, let a few seed heads stand if you want the clump to fill in, and get the plant ready for winter.
- Sandpaper tree
Fall is a good time to plant so roots settle in before winter.
- Parralena
Fall bloom, seeding, and cleanup for five-needle prickleleaf in Fort Worth, TX.
- Rough stem goldenrod
Blooms open August through November and draw bees. Ragweed, not goldenrod, is the usual cause of hay fever.
- Limestone wild petunia
Blooms continue into fall. Cooler weather is a good time to plant or move it.
