When to Plant Perennials | 
All hardy perennial plants are best when 
transplanted in the fall. Weather and soil 
conditions are usually good at that time. 
Very little winter protection is required other 
than a light covering of straw or peat moss 
or in some instances banking the soil up 
around the plant is best. There are however 
some tender perennials that require mulching 
in the fall. October is the time to plant most 
perennials.
