06.06.2023 - 19:25 / onegoodthingbyjillee.com / Jill Nystul
Despite the recent heat wave here in Utah, summer is definitely on its way out. (Where has the time gone?!) I did quite a bit of planting, pruning, and general gardening earlier this summer, so for the past several weeks we’ve been able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of all that labor.
As I’ve started doing some maintenance on my flowering shrubs and perennials, I’ve been thinking of other late summer projects I need to get around to. So today I thought I’d share some late summer gardening tips that will help keep your garden looking great throughout the fall!

Even in the late summer, the heat can take a toll on your plants. Most plants need a deep watering once a week, around 1 inch if you’re going by a rain gauge. It’s best to give the plants more water at once, rather than from several smaller waterings because it helps the plants to develop a deeper, stronger root system.
Late summer is not a great time to fertilize, generally speaking. Most plants are already suffering from heat stress or drought conditions, and fertilizer won’t help in these conditions. In fact, applying fertilizer to plants weakened by heat and drought could burn the roots or foliage. To be safe, focus on giving your plants the water they need, hold off on the fertilizer till later in the fall.
If your perennials have brown or wilting sections, late summer can be a good time to prune them away. After pruning, give your perennials extra water to encourage new growth. But don’t get discouraged if your plant doesn’t bounce back right away. At the very least, pruning your plants back in the late summer or fall will pay dividends next spring!
