As the days grow longer and the temperatures steadily climb, May marks the ideal time to start planting perennials and bare-root trees in Minnesota. The transition from the cool spring to the warmth of summer creates perfect conditions for these plants to establish themselves. Learn why you should get planting your perennials and bare-root trees now from Pear Tree Nursery.
The Benefits of Planting in May
- Optimal Weather Conditions May offers the perfect blend of moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall, which are crucial for the successful establishment of perennials and bare-root trees. The soil is warm enough to encourage root growth but not too hot to stress young plants. Additionally, the risk of late frost is minimal, making it a safe time to plant.
- Extended Growing Season Planting in May gives your perennials and bare-root trees a head start on the growing season. This extended period allows the plants to develop strong root systems before the heat of summer sets in, ensuring they are well-established and ready to thrive.
- Abundant Choices During May, we are fully stocked with a wide variety of perennials and bare-root trees. This means you have the best selection to choose from, ensuring you find the perfect plants to enhance your garden.
Why Choose Perennials?
- Long-Term Beauty Perennials are a fantastic investment for your garden because they come back year after year, providing continuous beauty with minimal effort. They establish deep root systems, making them more drought-resistant and hardy in the diverse Minnesota climate.
- Low Maintenance Once established, perennials require less maintenance compared to annuals. They typically need less watering and fertilizing, making them an ideal choice for busy gardeners.
- Diverse Varieties From vibrant flowers to lush foliage, perennials come in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors. This diversity allows you to create a dynamic and visually appealing garden that evolves with the seasons.
The Advantages of Bare-Root Trees
- Cost-Effective Bare-root trees are generally more affordable than their container-grown counterparts. Since they are sold without soil, they are lighter and easier to transport, reducing shipping costs and making them a budget-friendly option for gardeners.
- Stronger Root Systems Bare-root trees often develop stronger and more extensive root systems because they are planted directly into the ground without the constraints of a pot. This leads to healthier and more robust trees.
- Better Establishment When planted in May, bare-root trees have ample time to acclimate to their new environment before the summer heat. This early planting helps them establish themselves more effectively, increasing their chances of long-term success.
