Perennials: Summer vs. Late Winter Transplanting Options
  By Sarah Mitchell, Syngenta Technical Services
(6/4/12) -- Large perennial growers transplant nearly year-round to produce crops that meet their market needs. For growers who choose the summer transplant option, the cost savings on liners and balancing the workload makes up for additional costs during the long growing cycle. Winter transplanting offers timing predictability at a high yield. Transplanting perennials in May adds product depth during garden mum season, a competitive advantage compared to growers who only offer mums, pansies, and ornamental cabbage or kale.

The goal for summer transplanting is to have well-rooted plants that are prepared to go dormant and survive the winter. For early spring-blooming perennials, vernalization is required to induce flowering. This is achieved naturally when plants are transplanted in late summer and grown through the winter. Aubrieta Audrey™, Aurinia Summit™ and Iberis Tahoe™ are three gems to offer for summer transplanting.
