Any truth to the saying: "Plant in the winter, spring in the autumn."?

...Or maybe it goes, "Spring and showers bring flowers in May.", or something that sounds something like that.

Saying goes "April showers brings May flowers"





Never heard of the winter one. Almost sounds like bulb planting. Plant in Fall for Spring Blooms. And you can plant trees (not maple or oak) %26amp; shrubs in the winter, they will leaf out in Spring.
Reply:The old saying is April Showers bring May Flowers.





I have never heard of the winter one at all. The nearest thing that comes to mind is the daylight savings time saying: Spring forward and Fall back. For clocks.
Reply:Actually in temperate climates it is best to plant in the winter months. When I lived in the Birmingham area I planted in winter and the roots would have the cool season to develop. fall is the best time to plant inmost areas, as the roots will have the opportunity to become established before the plant is expected to produce top growth or flowers.





Hope this helps! :)
