Don’t rush to plant flowers in autumn! Otherwise, they will have time to ascend under the still warm autumn sun and disappear in frost. The optimal time for planting flowers before winter is the end of October and the beginning of November, when frosts are already frequent, but the soil did not have time to freeze.

You need to choose a place for planting, so that the plants are comfortable and the flower garden will delight the eyes of the owners and their guests.
