As the long, hot days of summer give way to the crisp, golden hues of autumn, something magical starts to happen in gardens across Victoria. Autumn isn’t just a beautiful season—it’s also one of the best times of the year to plant, and at True Green Nursery, we’re here to tell you why.
🌱 The Goldilocks Season for Planting
Autumn offers the perfect balance of mild temperatures, moist soil, and reduced stress on young plants. In Victoria, the weather begins to cool, but the soil is still warm from summer, creating ideal conditions for establishing strong, healthy root systems.
Unlike in summer, when heatwaves can stress new plants, or winter, when growth slows, autumn planting gives your plants a head start. They can settle in comfortably before the chill of winter, and by spring, they’re ready to burst into life.
🌿 Ideal for All Kinds of Plants
At True Green Nursery, autumn is a planting paradise. Whether you’re after bold, leafy tropicals, hardy natives, or statement palms, this season suits a wide range of plants:
- Tropical favourites like Bangalow Palms and Star Jasmine
- Hedging plants such as Ficus Flash and Nandina ‘Moonbay’
- Perennials and shrubs that will benefit from root development before winter dormancy
Our knowledgeable team can help you choose varieties that thrive in Victorian conditions and give your garden a fresh boost heading into winter.
🛠️ Autumn = Easier Gardening
Let’s be honest—gardening in 40°C heat isn’t much fun. In autumn, the cooler, more comfortable temperatures make it easier and more enjoyable to dig, plant, mulch, and tidy up your garden. It’s the perfect time to refresh garden beds, replace tired plants, or start a new landscaping project.
🌼 Get a Head Start on Spring
Planting in autumn means your garden is already thriving by spring. While others are just getting started, your plants will have a strong root system and be ready to flourish as the weather warms.
