Can I plant flowers in fall?

Are there any flowers or plants that are good to plant right now? We live in Texas so it doesn't get too cold?

Lastly, any spring flowering bulbs MUST be planted in the fall. They need to overwinter in order to bloom the following Spring, which means they have to be exposed to a good frost or all you're going to get is leaves next year. If you don't get any hard frosts in your area, you need to refrigerate the bulbs for a couple of week before planting. If this is necessary, make sure you don't refrigerate them in the same area as any fresh fruits or vegetables. The gas produced by the fruit will kill the flower buds.





Happy gardening!
