❄️ Winter is coming… time to tuck in your native plants for the season! 💧 For new perennials and transplants, adding a few inches of mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect roots from harsh winter conditions. 🍂 Once the ground is frozen and nighttime temps consistently dip below freezing, spread a layer of hardwood mulch, leaf litter, or straw over your plants. 🌾 For more tips on caring for your pollinator-friendly plantings through the seasons, explore our Blue Thumb - Planting for Clean Water sustainable gardening resources at https://bluethumb.org/learn-home/ #WinterPlantCare #NativePlants #PollinatorGarden #SustainableGardening (fb)
