Different flowers and plants have different requirements for planting seasons. Some flowers can be planted all year round, some can only be planted in spring, and some can only be planted in autumn and winter. If you want the following flowers to bloom smoothly, you must plant them in autumn and winter. If you miss the planting time, you have to wait another year, don't plant them anymore.
Pansy
Pansy is more suitable for planting in autumn and winter, although some friends also plant it in spring, but its blooming ability is not as good as that of autumn and winter. Pansy is cold-resistant but not heat-resistant. High temperature can easily cause the branches and leaves to grow excessively, and the blooming ability will decrease. In the southern region, planting pansy in autumn and winter can result in a large number of flowers in winter and spring. In the northern region, if you want to plant pansy in spring, it is best to buy ones that are already blooming, otherwise, when the seedlings grow up and the temperature rises, they will not bloom well. Pansy can be planted with seeds or seedlings can be purchased directly. Now that autumn is almost over, it's better to buy seedlings to plant pansy, as planting with seeds might be a bit late and could affect growth and blooming.
Narcissus
Narcissus is an important flowering plant in winter, and almost every household will raise a pot during the New Year. When the temperature is low, narcissus leaves are wide and short, the flower stems are erect, and they have high ornamental value. When the temperature is high, the leaves grow excessively and easily break, and the flowers are hidden among the leaves, affecting the ornamental value. It's a bit early to plant narcissus now, and it can be planted 45 days before the Spring Festival. For soil-cultivated narcissus, it needs to be planted earlier, as its growth rate is slower than that of hydroponically cultivated narcissus. There is also the trumpet narcissus, which can be planted now. Trumpet narcissus has larger flowers, longer blooming period, and higher ornamental value.
Peony
Peony can only be planted in autumn, and in the northern region, planting in early autumn is better than planting in late autumn. In the southern regions suitable for planting peony, it can be planted in late autumn or early winter. If peony is not planted in autumn or early winter, it is better not to plant it, and wait until next autumn. Otherwise, the survival rate is low, and it is easy to grow leaves without flowers. Now that autumn is almost over, as long as it's not too cold, peony can still be planted. But after the beginning of winter, most regions cannot plant peony anymore.
What flowers are suitable for planting in autumn and winter
Peony
Autumn is a good time to plant peony, especially one month before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the most suitable time for planting peony. Peony has a developed root system, and after planting in autumn, new roots can grow well, allowing normal growth and blooming in spring. If planted after autumn, the roots will not recover and grow, easily causing the whole plant to wither or not bloom for a long time. Therefore, peony must be planted in autumn, and if you miss autumn, you'll have to wait a year, and you can plant it again next autumn. Now, in the colder regions of the north, it is not very suitable to plant peony. In regions that are not too cold, or in the south where peony can be planted, you can still plant it if you want.

There are several types of Oxalis, and the autumn planting type can only be planted in autumn and winter, otherwise, it is likely to see leaves but not flowers. Autumn planted Oxalis, when planted in autumn and winter, can easily bloom into large flower balls. By the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the temperature rises, the autumn planted Oxalis will turn yellow and enter dormancy, stopping growth. In the northern region, it is suitable to plant autumn planted Oxalis from the middle to late August. In the southern region, planting starts from October. Generally, Oxalis planted in autumn, if properly cared for, can enter the blooming period in November and December and bloom until the weather gets warm in spring.

Although it can also grow at high temperatures, the leaves easily grow excessively, the blooming ability decreases, the blooming period becomes short, and the overall ornamental value is poor. Therefore, Freesia is generally planted in autumn and winter, so you can enjoy flowers soon. Freesia planted in autumn can bloom in November and December. Freesia planted at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter can bloom around New Year's Day.
