Planting window: late August–September 2026

Best things to plant now

Here, “now” means August 28 through September 30, 2026, in Denton County. This seasonal list will change as the weather and planting window change.

Right now · late August

Start with wildflower seed

August is still a seed-sowing window, but it is generally too hot for new shrubs and trees. These wildflower choices also appear on Harvest’s HOA list:

Black-Eyed SusanLanceleaf CoreopsisPurple Coneflower

Keep the seedbed consistently moist until the seeds germinate.

After the heat eases · late September

Plant flowering perennials

Wait for cooler weather later in September before transplanting perennials. Good HOA-listed choices with Denton County growing guidance include:

Fall AsterPurple ConeflowerHenry Duelberg SageAutumn Sage Salvia

Water new transplants regularly while their roots become established.

Plan now · plant in cooler fall weather

Save shrubs and trees for later

Late fall through early spring is the better establishment window for most shrubs and trees. Use September to choose the right HOA-listed plant for your sunlight, drainage, mature space, and water conditions.

Return to the plant categories A listed plant may still require ACC approval, and street-tree replacements have address-specific requirements.
