Planting flowering perennials in the fall garden is an easy way to enjoy more color and beauty come spring. But some gardeners may be concerned about planting things too late. If perennials have gone dormant, and are cold hardy in your zone, it's fine to plant them in November. Adding some mulch for winter protection helps protect the roots while they get established.

One problem with planting spring and summer-flowering perennials in November is inventory, says garden expert Laura Janney. Nurseries may not have many spring and summer perennials left, though if you're lucky you can get some on sale.

She suggests asking gardening friends to share divisions (as dividing perennials in the fall is commonly done), or looking on social media for local garden groups to see if anyone is offering divided perennials late in the season.
