What to Plant in March

Ezra BaileyGetty Images

March is a month of change: change in season, change in weather, and change in the garden. Bridging together late winter and early spring, March allows gardeners to relish in the last harvest of cool-weather edibles while prepping plantings for the warmer days ahead. During this time, you'll likely find young edibles, perennial herbs, and flowering shrubs at your local nursery that can easily be transplanted into your garden. But before picking up a new seed packet or adding a fruit tree to your cart, make sure to check your USDA hardiness zone or consult with an expert at your neighborhood garden shop to find out which types of beautiful flowers or vegetables fair best in your region's climate conditions to ensure planting success. Whether you're looking for landscaping ideas or just preparing for that vegetable garden you've been missing since last summer, you'll find our best ideas for what to plant in March right here.

Potatoes

There was an old belief amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch community that St. Gertrude’s Day—known as St. Patrick’s Day today—was the official potato-planting day. They might have been on to something, as March offers the ideal conditions to plant these cold-loving crops. Start by planting seed potato pieces in trenches about 3 to 4 inches into the soil. Once a seedling has sprouted, cover the plant once again with 3 inches of soil and repeat a few weeks later. This technique is known as "hilling," and it protects the tubers from sun damage.

Leeks

A sweet and mild member of the onion family, leeks thrive in cool weather and can withstand unexpected frosts during the month. For happy and flavorful leeks, check that the soil is constantly moist. You may have to water the leeks once a week if you live in a dry climate with a lot of sunshine. The best part of growing leeks is that you can harvest them whenever they reach your ideal size for cooking.

Tomatoes

It may come as no surprise that tomatoes are the most popular vegetable to grow in gardens at home. With so many colors and varieties, the possibilities are truly endless. For those who live in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–10, you can begin growing tomatoes from seed indoors in March. For best results, start from seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in preparation to transfer outside once the cold weather has passed.

4

Broccoli

Often referred to as a fall vegetable, certain quick-growing varieties of broccoli can actually be planted in late winter as the temperature begin to rise for a summer harvest. Plant these sun-loving crops in a spot in your garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct light. When it comes time to harvest, make sure the head is fully developed but hasn't produced any small yellow flowers yet.

5

Peppers

Peppers are another fun vegetable to grow in gardens, as they take up little space and produce high yields when planted close together. In USDA Hardiness Zones 5–10, peppers can be planted indoors in March before transferring outside to the garden. The key is to start growing from seed 6 to 12 weeks before the last frost.

6

Beets

This delicious and nutritious root vegetable prefers cool weather and can be planted from seed in early spring for an early summer harvest in USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10. Plant in rows, and add in high-nitrogen fertilizer six weeks after planting.

7

Peas

This cool-weather legume will thrive in early spring. In USDA Hardiness Zones 5–10, you can plant green peas and sugar peas 4- to 6 weeks before the last spring frost to yield an early summer harvest.

8

Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a fast-growing, high-yielding garden crop. Certain varieties that grow on vines require more space for planting; those varieties that grow on bushes require less space. For those who live in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–6, you can start growing cucumbers from seed in March to be transplanted outdoors between April and June. For those who live in USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10, you can sow cucumber seeds directly outside two weeks after the last frost.

9

Spinach

Spinach is another cool-weather vegetable that can be planted in March and will produce until the summer heat waves begin. For those who live in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–10, you can plant in March or whenever the soil is able to be worked.

10

Roses

March or early spring is an ideal time to plant roses, especially bare-root roses, which are typically only available in early spring. You'll want to make sure to wait until after the last frost. If you purchase bare-root varieties, make sure you plant soon after bringing the plant home (or soon after it arrives, if ordered online).

11

Azalea

While it's slightly preferred to plant this flowering shrub in fall, azaleas can also be planted in spring after the last frost. You'll want to space azaleas 2 to 6 feet apart, depending on their size, and plant where they will receive at least six hours of full sun. It's also important to plant new plants so that their top roots are at soil level or just below to avoid root rot.

12

Cherry Blossom Trees

March, or after the last frost, is also a great time to plant flowering trees such as the cherry blossom. Find a spot in your yard or garden that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight for your tree to thrive.

13

Lemon Trees

Citrus trees are another great species to plant in March or after the last frost. Planting bare-root lemon trees at this time of year allows the root systems to become well established before the next winter. Plant lemon trees in full sun for best results.

14

Wax Begonia

This wax-leafed, shade-thriving flower can be planted in March after the last frost. (Although they can be grown from seed indoors 12 weeks prior to the season's last frost, most gardeners prefer to transplant from a nursery.) Space plants about 8 inches apart in beds that have shade but will also get some morning sun for best results.

15

Zinnias

This colorful summer annual can be planted by seed directly into the garden in March or after the last frost. For best results, plant seeds a few inches apart in full sun. (Although zinnias will bloom in partial shade, they will have fewer flowers and may be more susceptible to disease.)

10 Things to Do in Your Garden in March

By Doug Jimerson

Get your spring garden in shape with these must-do March tips.

Plant Annual Flowers in March Gardens
By the end March, gardeners in frost-free regions can begin planting warm-season annuals such as angelonia, wax begonia, and zinnia. Northern gardeners can start setting out cool-season favorites such as pansy, osteospermum, and alyssum.
Tip: Keep a light blanket or grow cloth handy just in case the temperatures drop unexpectedly. Cover your plants at night if it drops below freezing.
Discover beautiful cool-season annuals that take light frost. 

Plant Trees and Shrubs in March
Early spring, when the weather is cool and moist, is a great time to add trees and shrubs to your landscape. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball of your plant. Then set the plant into the soil at the same height it was growing in its nursery pot. Water thoroughly and mulch.
Tip: Find out how large a tree or shrub will grow before you add it to your landscape. You don’t want to plant something that will eventually tower over your home.
 
Plant Berries in March Gardens
Strawberries and raspberries prefer an early spring start in your garden. Both can be grown in garden beds or containers. They require well-drained soil and a sunny spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunshine a day.
Tip: Strawberries and raspberries are available in Everbearing and June-bearing varieties. Everbearers produce small amounts of fruit all summer long while June-bearers develop one large crop in early summer. Plant both types to gain the maximum amount of fruit over a longer period of time. 

Start Veggies from Seed
In the North, lettuce, spinach, radishes, peas, and other cool season crops can be sown directly in the garden in March. In frost-free regions, plant warm weather vegetables such as tomatoes and squash. Cover the plants if an unexpected cold snap threatens.
Tip: Sow radishes, spinach, beans, and peas in wide rows instead of single file. You’ll get more produce per square inch if you scatter seed in a 6 to 10 inch wide band.

Repot Houseplants 
March is a perfect time to give indoor plants a new lease on life by transplanting them into a larger pot with fresh soil. This is especially important if your plants are root bound (you’ll see roots coming out of the pot’s drainage holes). Also, if the roots are growing in a tight ball, loosen them to encourage new growth.
Tip: March is also a good time to prune houseplants that might have grown leggy over the winter. Pruning will also encourage new, more compact growth.
Check out our gallery of popular, easy-to-grow houseplants! 

Dig and Divide Perennials in March Gardens
Perennials such as hosta, chrysanthemum, and daylily can be dug and divided as soon as they break dormancy. Use a sharp spade to dig and lift the clumps and break them into smaller sections with a large garden knife. Replant the divisions as soon as possible. 
Tip: Some perennials prefer being divided in the late summer instead of early spring. These include peony, lily, Oriental poppy, and bearded iris.

Feed Camellias and Azaleas
Fertilize camellias and azaleas after they finish flowering. Use a commercial camellia/azalea granular fertilizer sprinkled around the base of the plants. Be sure to read the label for application rates. Feed monthly through August for best growth and flowering.
Tip: In the fall and winter, use a 0-10-10 fertilizer to help build next spring’s flower production. That mixture of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium will also increase your plants’ ability to tolerate cold weather.

Check Irrigation
Water is a precious resource. That’s why, if you have an irrigation system, it’s important to check it now. Look for broken heads or inefficient spray patterns that can waste water. Also, adjust your timer so you aren’t watering your yard during the rainy season. 
Tip: Most lawns and gardens require an inch of moisture a week. If you are unsure of how much water you are providing, set a coffee can in the yard and measure what it catches.

Spray and Prune Fruit Trees 
There’s still plenty of time to prune apples and other fruit trees. Remove dead, diseased or crossed branches before the trees break dormancy. Also, eliminate vertical branches to allow sunlight to penetrate the interior of the tree. Fruit is only produced on horizontal branches so don’t worry about minimizing your harvest. Tip: Spray your trees before they leaf out with a dormant oil spray. It’s an effective method of reducing insect pests organically. Follow label directions when you apply dormant oil spray.

Clear Flower Beds
Rake leaves and mulch away from garden beds to allow the foliage of spring-flowering bulbs and perennials to poke through. During the winter, leaves can pack down, forming an impenetrable barrier to new growth. Plus when you pull back the mulch, the soil will warm faster because it’s exposed to the sun.
Tip: Use a plastic leaf rake when you remove mulch. Metal garden rakes with sharp tongs can rip tender foliage from emerging plants.

Tips

Plants love order. If you want to see your garden bloom in the summer, some of them need to be planted right now

Even though the weather is not making us happy yet, it's time to start gardening. If you want to see results in a few months, start this weekend. Here are a few plants to plant in March.

Echinacea

Echinacea flowers can be pink, yellow, crimson, white or salmon. Bright petals will attract bees and butterflies to the garden. True, echinacea will bloom only in the second year - in mid-July. Moreover, seedlings need to be sown no later than the second half of March, so you can already start. nine0003

Lobularia (annual alissum)

Alyssum will quickly cover any area with a luxurious "carpet" - they often adorn flower beds of continuous flowering. You will be surprised, but there are more than a hundred species of this plant. It is sown for seedlings from mid-March to early April.

Seeds should be lightly sprinkled with moist soil, and they will germinate in 10-12 days. It will be possible to transplant alyssum into the ground at the end of May.

Verbena

Gardeners love her for her unpretentiousness and bright flowers. Verbena will delight you until the start of frost, especially if you always have a lot of sun on the site. nine0003

You will have to hurry up with the seedlings: you need to have time to plant the seeds before March 20th. Pre-soak them in a growth stimulator, and when sowing, do not sprinkle with earth. Wait for shoots in 15-20 days. The flower can be transferred to the ground from the second half of May.

Azarina climbing

The funny name reflects the essence of the flower - it is a liana. Azarina blooms all summer, and the sooner you sow it, the sooner you will see the result. Try to make it before the end of March.

Iberis

Inconspicuous plant in appearance, but with a very pleasant smell. Iberis is usually decorated with rocky gardens and alpine slides. It blooms in May-June.

There are only five types: bitter, umbrella, pinnate, evergreen and Gibraltar. With seedlings, you can be late until the beginning of April, and planted in May, in sunny areas with poor soil.

Cleoma

Unusual and profusely blooming from June until frost, the bush will add exotic to the garden, and the aroma will attract many bees. nine0003

You need to sow to a depth of about one and a half centimeters, when it grows up, transplant it into larger pots. It is better to relocate the cleoma to the garden in the second half of May at a distance of about 50 centimeters from each other.

Climbing Kobe

One of the few climbing plants that can be planted on a balcony, gazebo or wall - take note of it. Kobeya blooms until October.

Seeds should be sown before the 20th of March, after soaking them in a growth stimulator solution. And it is possible to plant in a permanent place only at the beginning of June: kobeya is afraid of frost. nine0003

Bluebells

There are about 300 species of this plant: from two-meter giants to five-centimeter-long crumbs. But only 13 types of bluebells grow in Russia. Seeds are sown superficially, without sprinkling with earth. Shoots will appear in about a week.

Carnation grass

It looks more modest than carnation shabot, but no less good for that. It blooms profusely, for a long time, is drought-resistant and can grow even between stones. Such a carnation will bloom only three months after sowing, which is why it is sown in seedlings early - in March. nine0003

Brachycoma Iberisolifolia

Although the name of the flower sounds like an incurable disease, it survives in almost all weather conditions. It is necessary to sow the seeds before the 20th of March, superficially, only slightly pressing them into the soil.

The brachicoma is planted in a permanent place towards the end of May, usually in hanging boxes or pots.

Snapdragon

Recently, it has not been popular with gardeners, but in vain. It must be sown before the end of March in loose nutrient soil, to which it is better to add dry sand. nine0003

Only water the seedlings carefully - the flowers do not tolerate excess moisture. And you can plant them in the garden already in the middle of May - snapdragons are not afraid of light frosts.

Phlox annual

We grow it only through seedlings, sowing until the end of March. The flower sprouts quickly - after 5-8 days. With the appearance of the first leaves, feed the plant with fertilizers. This must be done several times per season.

Summer Levkoy

This plant can be sown from the middle of February until March 20th. Sprinkle it with fine river sand on top and moisten it with a spray bottle. After the seeds sprout, move the seedlings to a cool room, otherwise the flowers may rot. nine0003

+ bonus

If you didn't have time to sow February flowers, you can do it in March. They just bloom a little later. For example, heliotrope, lavender and lobelia.

And for seedlings in March, in addition to the heroes of the article, they are perfect:

What can be sown and planted in the garden in March

We have compiled a detailed list of 24 plants that can be sown in seedlings, in a greenhouse or directly in open ground in March. Here and vegetables, and herbs, and herbs. nine0003

The beginning of spring is the beginning of the sowing season. Do not put off this matter indefinitely - you can start right now!

What to sow in March for seedlings

Crops with a long growing season in the conditions of the middle zone necessarily require cultivation through seedlings. Otherwise, they simply will not have time to ripen during the summer months.

Basil

The second half of March and April is the time to sow the favorite herb. nine0003

Keep in mind that basil is a thermophilic plant. For germination, seeds need to provide an air temperature of 23-28 ° C.

To get a lush fragrant bush that will attract a swarm of bees and butterflies during flowering, it is advisable to germinate the seeds before sowing.

Keep in mind that basil seedlings need good lighting - at least 10 hours a day. Therefore, it is desirable to use LED lamps for supplementary illumination.

Basil seedlings are planted in the garden in the second half of May - June, when the risk of return frosts finally passes. nine0003

Eggplant

Eggplants can be sown for seedlings already at the end of February and up to mid-March. If you sow later, the plants will bloom only at the end of summer, that is, you may not wait for the harvest.

Before sowing, it is advisable to treat the seeds with a fungicide and germinate in a damp cloth on a radiator. Seeds are buried about 0.5 cm.

Eggplants, like peppers, do not respond well to picking, so it is recommended to sow them in individual pots. nine0003

Eggplants are demanding in terms of lighting, so you can’t do without supplementary lighting with a phytolamp - seedlings need 10-12 hours of daylight per day. After germination for 1.5 weeks, the seedlings are transferred to a room with a temperature of 15-17°C, and then kept at 24-26°C.

Seedlings are transplanted into the ground on average 65-70 days after germination - in late May - early June.

Broccoli

Broccoli can be sown directly into the garden in June. But why not sow it for seedlings in March, so that you can already harvest in the first summer month? nine0003

Sowing can be carried out from the second half of March to the second half of April. Seedlings are planted in May.
Sowing broccoli is no different from sowing any other type of cabbage. Seeds are buried by 1 cm. After germination, the plants are transferred to a cool place to prevent stretching.

Picking is carried out in the phase of 5-6 true leaves.

Don't forget to read our material about the secrets of growing broccoli in the middle lane.

White cabbage

White cabbage is sown for seedlings in March-April, and the seedlings are "relocated" to the ground in May. Harvest from plants of early varieties ( Gribovsky, Dita, Zolotovorotskaya, June, Surprise , etc.) can be harvested as early as June.

Seeds are recommended to be prepared in advance. To begin with, soak in hot water (about 50 ° C) for 20 minutes, and then send it to the refrigerator for 12 hours. Before sowing, it is a good idea to disinfect the soil with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate or pour it with boiling water. nine0003

Immediately after germination, seedlings are taken to a room with a temperature of 10-12°C. After a few days, the containers with plants are transferred to heat and provide a minimum of 12-hour daylight hours, otherwise the seedlings will quickly stretch and droop.

The pick is carried out in phase 2 of true leaves.

Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are sown for seedlings in March, and grown seedlings are planted in the ground in May. In about 2.5-3 months it will be possible to harvest. nine0003

Please note that this crop, like other types of cabbage, does not bear fruit well in "greenhouse" conditions. To grow strong, healthy seedlings, you will have to maintain a temperature of 10-15 ° C and extend daylight hours with phytolamps at least up to 12 hours.

Savoy cabbage

Savoy cabbage is still quite exotic for the middle zone, but in fact its agricultural technology does not differ at all from that of its white "sister". nine0003

Sowing is carried out in March-April, seedlings are planted in the garden in May. Savoy cabbage ripens in September - early October.

Seedling care is the same as for other types of cabbage. The only important nuance to consider is that savoy cabbage requires good moisture, but quickly rots when water stagnates at the roots. Therefore, when sowing this crop, be sure to take care of a good drainage layer at the bottom of the container.

Cauliflower

nine0003

March is the time for sowing seedlings of early varieties of cauliflower ( Amphora, Dachnitsa, Purple, Snowball, Express , etc.).

Sowing and care - as for seedlings of other types of cabbage with one feature: seedlings should be watered abundantly, but infrequently - about 1 time per week, after which it is necessary to ventilate the room to prevent rotting of plants.

Picking is carried out in the phase of the first pair of true leaves.

Seedlings are ready for transplanting into the ground 45-50 days after emergence (usually in the phase of 5-6 true leaves). nine0003

Kohlrabi

Seeds of kohlrabi are sown in March-April, seedlings dive when the first true leaf appears, and transplanted to a permanent place in late May - early June.

Immediately after the seedlings have hatched, the containers are transferred to a room with a temperature of 9-10°C for a week, and in the following days until planting in the ground (in the phase of 3-4 leaves) they are kept at 16-18°C.

It will be possible to harvest in July-August, depending on the variety.

Leek

Leek is sown for seedlings in the second half of March. To guarantee seedlings, it is recommended to germinate the seeds.

Seeds are buried at a depth of 1-1.5 cm and the distance between plants is kept at 5 cm. C, and then raise it a few degrees.

The picking is carried out approximately one month after emergence. Every 2 weeks, the leaves are shortened to 10 cm to stimulate root formation. nine0003

In May, at the age of 6-8 weeks, when 3 leaves are formed on the seedlings, the seedlings are transplanted to the bed.

Onion

Sowing onions is essentially the same as sowing leeks. It is preferable to do this in the first half of March.

Seedlings appear after about 3 weeks. Seedling care is simple: you need to water it when the top layer of soil dries out, and fertilize with full mineral fertilizer (according to instructions) at the age of 3 weeks. nine0003

Onion seedlings are transplanted into the ground in May.

Pepper

Bell pepper seeds should preferably be pickled in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, and then germinated in a damp cloth on a radiator.

Pepper, like eggplant, does not react well to any "intervention" in the root system and does not like picking, so it is advisable to sow the seeds immediately in individual containers. If you nevertheless sowed them in a common container, the pick must be carried out in the phase of the first pair of true leaves. nine0003

Learn more about the rules for growing pepper seedlings in our detailed master class.

Celery root

Celery can be sown throughout March. Considering that the seeds of this crop are small and hatch slowly, it is easiest to germinate them in advance and only then sow without burying them in the ground.

Celery seedlings are unpretentious and can withstand temperatures as low as a few degrees below zero. However, the seedlings of this culture do not tolerate excess moisture near the roots, so a layer of drainage must be poured onto the bottom of the box. nine0003

Tomato

Surely you have already seen our most detailed master class on growing tomato seedlings. Perhaps the most difficult thing here is to correctly calculate the sowing time, because it varies depending on the early maturity of the variety.

The easiest way is to start from the opposite: choose an approximate date when your climatic conditions will allow you to harvest the first crop, count from it the number of ripening days indicated on the package, and take another 10-13 days for germination and seedling adaptation. nine0003

Tomato, unlike the "sissies" of eggplant and peppers, loves picking. Immediately after the appearance of the first pair of true leaves, the seedlings are transplanted into individual pots, slightly pinching the main root. This stimulates the formation of a fibrous root system. Detailed instructions with photos can be found in our master class Picking tomato seedlings.

What to sow in March in open ground

In early spring, cold-resistant crops are sown directly on the bed, which are not afraid of frost. nine0003

Peas

Peas can be planted outdoors at the end of March. Seeds will germinate even at 4-7°C, and young seedlings tolerate frosts down to -6°C. However, when sowing in the first half of March, it is recommended to cover the bed with a film.

It is best to soak the seeds for 1-2 days before sowing. They are deepened by 3-4 cm. The distance between rows is 15-20 cm, between plants in one row is 5-6 cm.

Black onion

Black onions can be sown outdoors in early spring, as soon as the snow melts and the ground warms up to a depth of 5-6 cm.

Black onion seeds have a short shelf life, so only last season's seeds can be used. If you buy seed, we recommend that you hold the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 1-2 days and, if desired, germinate them.

The soil is loosened a couple of days before sowing with a flat cutter to a depth of about 10 cm, then spilled with hot water and covered with a black film. After 2-3 days, the bed is ready for sowing.

Nigella is sown in grooves according to the scheme 1.5×25 cm, sprinkled with a layer of earth 2-3 cm. After that, the bed is covered with organic mulch (for example, peat). nine0003

Carrot

Sowing time for carrots in open ground is at the end of March.

Due to the tiny size of carrot seeds, it is recommended to germinate them before sowing. So you will save yourself from the dilemma: sow untested seeds according to the recommended 5 × 20 cm pattern and not wait for germination in some of the holes, or play it safe by sowing several seeds in one hole, and eventually get dense plantings.

For more information, see our article on 7 effective ways to sow carrot seeds. nine0003

Parsnip

March is the time to sow parsnips. For this root crop, a plot with loose fertile soil is chosen.
The main problem of parsnips is poor seed germination. To reject low-quality material, it is desirable to germinate them before sowing.

Seeds are very light and can easily be washed out of the soil by precipitation, sowing is carried out in dry weather.

Keep in mind that seed has a 1-2 year shelf life, so only use seeds harvested last year. nine0003

Parsnip sowing scheme - 10-20×40 cm. Seeds are buried by 2 cm.

Parsley

Parsley is one of the most hardy plants in our beds. If you sow it with a conveyor, with an interval of 2-3 weeks, you can pick fresh branches of this fragrant greenery from early spring to the very frost.

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a pink solution of potassium permanganate for a day, and then they are germinated in wet gauze or a paper napkin on a battery.

Parsley is sown according to the scheme 2-3×15 cm, deepening the seeds by 1 cm.

Seedlings of this crop are very tender and do not tolerate direct sunlight. Water them carefully, using a syringe or pipette.

Parsley can also be grown from seedlings.

Radish

To obtain friendly seedlings, germinate the seeds in a damp cloth. They are sown according to the scheme 5×10-15 cm, embedded in the soil to a depth of 2 cm. nine0003

What to sow and plant in the greenhouse in March

Many crops are quite resistant to low temperatures and do not require growing seedlings on the windowsill - they can be sown directly in the greenhouse.

Spinach

Growing spinach in your garden is easy. This unpretentious plant feels best at a temperature of 15-18 ° C. To collect several crops in a row, you can sow at intervals of 2-3 weeks.

Seed is 1 cm deep, maintaining a distance of 20 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants in a row. nine0003

Salad

At the end of March, you can safely sow various types of lettuce in the greenhouse.

The seeds of this crop are tiny, so they are not embedded in the ground, but scattered on the surface. The standard scheme for planting leaf and head lettuce is 25 × 30 cm, so after the appearance of true leaves, the seedlings should be thinned out.

Chinese cabbage

Beijing cabbage can be sown in the greenhouse at the end of March.

Seeds are buried 2 cm deep and sown according to the scheme 10×50 cm. After 3-7 days, the first shoots should appear. nine0003

The optimum temperature for growing this crop is 15-20°C. At the same time, it is important to take into account that a change in temperature by 2-3 or more degrees in any direction can be fraught with crop loss.

Mustard

Salad mustard is a frost-resistant early maturing plant. It can be sown in the greenhouse from the beginning of March.
