The roots will take well while the soil is still warm and moist and autumn planting allows the plants to settle in before the more extreme weather conditions, which generally start around mid December through to end of January. This is not to say that plants cannot be planted at other times of the year &#8211; but when planted in autumn, they require minimal attention. \u00a0Watering will not be necessary once the weather cools consistently around October (unless we have a heatwave in the winter!).\u00a0 The plants will then remain dormant from October through to March.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_415\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/ligjapv\/ligustrum-japonica-variegated.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-415\" class=\"size-full wp-image-415\" title=\"Evergreen Ligustrum Japonica Variegated\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/ligustrum-japonica-variegated-600.jpg\" alt=\"Evergreen Ligustrum Japonica Variegated as grown at Paramount Plants in London\" width=\"600\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evergreen Ligustrum Japonica Variegated growing at our nursery in North London<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\">Once the weather warms up significantly in spring, usually around end of March, then the roots of trees and shrubs planted in autumn have already had an opportunity to settle in during these cold months and the plants will then flourish and establish quicker than if they had just been planted in Spring.\u00a0 Also they will not be stressed by extreme changes of weather which can be common in spring. So if you are considering planting new trees and shrubs think about planting in autumn \u2013 it will make life a little easier&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\"><strong>Which are the best Plants for Autumn Colour in the Garden that may not be so well known?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It is widely acknowledged that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/japanese-acers.html\">Japanese Acers<\/a> are at their most spectacular at this time of the year with their flamboyantly coloured foliage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/berbsuperba\/berberis-x-ottawensis-purprea-superba-barberry.html\">Barberry<\/a> also springs to mind, particularly the spectacular new variety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/berberis-thunbergii-orange-rocket\/\">Berberis Thunbergii Orange Rocket<\/a> which turns ruby red in autumn.
