The most common reason for a lack of flowers on hydrangeas is that they were pruned at the wrong time of the year.

Hydrangeas are often touted as a flashy spring and summer flower, but this variety may maintain its blooms into fall and has foliage in rich autumnal hues.

The first week of October is a great time to replant, reinvent and restyle your porch and patio planters.

For gardeners who don't want the growing season to end as fall brings colder temperatures, it’s time to consider pulling some of those summer annuals and replacing them with pansies.
