When to plant in Florence
Florence follows the low desert calendar, and October and November are the best months for trees and shrubs.
Hardy plants can go in through the cool months into April. Frost-tender plants should wait for the last freeze.
The June to August heat is hard on new trees and shrubs. Cactus and agave take best in April and May, and palms from May through July.
Watering in Florence
Florence yards follow the Valley watering guide. Water tender plants the day before a freeze, keep cactus dry, and cover them with frost cloth that reaches the ground.
