September Desert Gardening List

Things to do in your desert garden in September:

Plant:
- Begin to plant winter-growing bulbs when the outside air temperature becomes below 95 degrees F.
- Emu bush, black dalea, blue mist, Russian sage, ruellia, red justicia and Mexican oregano toward the end of the month.

Care:

  • Prechill bulbs such as tulips this month. Place them in paper bags (plastic will rot the bulbs) and set them in an area of your refrigerator far away from apples, pears, etc. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 months before planting.

    • Watering:

  • Newly planted bulbs need watered twice per month, more often if there's a spike in heat.

    • Fertilize:
