As the cooler days of autumn roll in, most gardeners shift their attention from growth to cleanup. But for anyone growing perennials, fall is the most strategic time to fertilize—and the right nutrients now can mean a lush, vigorous display when spring arrives. One of the most effective fertilizers to use at this crucial time is 10-10-10 Complete Lawn and Garden Granular Fertilizer with Micronutrients from Supply Solutions LLC.
Fall feeding with Triple 10 gives your perennials exactly what they need to build stronger roots, store energy, and defend against winter stress—so they come back better than ever.
Perennials may slow down their top growth in fall, but their root systems remain active until the soil freezes. This means they’re still absorbing nutrients—particularly phosphorus and potassium—and putting them to work underground. Unlike in spring, when plants are rapidly growing above ground, fall is all about building below the surface.
Key reasons to feed in fall include:
Fall fertilization doesn’t just “carry over”—it sets the tone for the entire next growing season.
A balanced fertilizer like Triple 10 contains:
The addition of micronutrients—such as boron, copper, manganese, and zinc—makes this product even more powerful. These elements play crucial roles in enzyme activity, chlorophyll formation, and disease defense.
Unlike many fertilizers that are too high in nitrogen for fall use, Supply Solutions LLC’s 10-10-10 blend offers a balanced formula that supports what plants need now without triggering frost-tender top growth.
Virtually all perennials can benefit, especially:
Perennials in raised beds, containers, or nutrient-poor soil will benefit even more.
Phosphorus is the driver of root growth—and fall is the best time to maximize root expansion. Triple 10 delivers this directly to the zone of activity while plants are still pulling nutrients from the soil.
Stronger roots mean:
Many flowering perennials form the base of next year’s buds in the fall. Feeding them now ensures those buds are larger, better nourished, and more likely to bloom in spring.
Examples:
Triple 10’s balanced formula provides the nutrients needed for this unseen, critical growth.
Potassium strengthens plant tissues, making them more resistant to frost and freeze cycles. It also regulates water movement in cells—reducing the risk of cold damage.
Micronutrients help plants activate internal defense mechanisms that protect against pathogens in wet fall and winter weather.
When perennials wake up in spring, they draw on stored nutrients. If you feed them in fall, you’ve already done half the work. Expect:
Timing is crucial for maximum uptake:
Apply before the ground freezes but after peak summer bloom has ended. Avoid applying when frost is imminent within 1–2 days.
In Garden Beds:
In Containers:
New Fall Plantings:
It’s the one fertilizer that covers your entire perennial garden without overcomplicating your schedule or budget.
After applying Triple 10, top your beds with a layer of compost, shredded leaves, or bark mulch. This:
Combined with Triple 10, this creates a nutrient-rich environment ideal for winter survival and spring explosion.
With proper fall feeding, you’ll see:
Many gardeners report their perennials blooming up to 2–3 weeks earlier and with greater consistency after fall feeding with Triple 10.
