Garden flowers in November: sowing, planting and flowering

What is sown, planted and pruned in November, and which annuals, summer bulbs and flowering shrubs are in flower, depends on your last spring frost. Below is the typical city of each climate — or open your own city’s frost dates.

Garden flowers in November, by climate:

• Moderate: last frost in April (Mannheim): Dahlia
• Mild: last frost in March (Nagoya): Bearded Iris, Crocus, Daffodil, Grape hyacinth, Hellebore and 6 more
• Warm winter: frost only now and then (Ravenna): Snapdragon, Purple coneflower, Delphinium, Pansy, Bearded Iris and 10 more
• Southern hemisphere: spring from September (Salta): Snapdragon, Marigold, Edging lobelia, Sweet alyssum, Busy Lizzie and 20 more

Dates are for the typical city of each climate by the Greenly calendar’s rules: sowing and planting from the last spring frost (frost-hardy plants about three weeks before it, the rest a week after it once the soil is warm), autumn planting a month before the first autumn frost; annuals and summer bulbs flower after the card’s days to the first flowers for the card’s length of flowering, until the first autumn frost; flowering shrubs by the card’s days after the last spring frost. Perennials and autumn bulbs flower once established, so their flowering is not dated here.
