Fall care in the Trans-Pecos

What to do right now for plants commonly grown here. Each links to the full regional care guide for that species, with sources.

Obedience
Fall is the payoff. Obedient plant blooms from late summer into fall, so this is when its pink spikes are at their peak and feeding pollinators heading into cooler weather.
Tall grama grass
Fall brings the best color. The foliage bleaches to tan with red and purple tints, and the seed heads dry to a warm straw color that holds through the season.
Common yarrow
Cooler fall weather brings yarrow back to life in the El Paso area. It is a good time to divide crowded clumps and let them root before winter.
Esperanza
Let esperanza keep blooming into fall in the Trans-Pecos, but start preparing the crown for the region's early, hard freezes.
Little bluestem
Fall is little bluestem's showcase season, when the Trans-Pecos clumps turn a warm mahogany red and set seed.
Autumn sage
Fall is autumn sage's heaviest bloom period in the Trans-Pecos, so keep deadheading instead of cutting it back hard.
Switchgrass
Fall is when switchgrass earns its keep, turning gold and feeding songbirds right as the desert cools down.
Firewheel
Let some of the season's last flower heads go to seed for next year's stand.
Butterfly weed
Let seed pods dry and split on the plant so they can reseed naturally around the yard.
