Moderately sized (3-4ft.), it flowers in early June. Merits: I’d be hard put to find anything more durable and easier to grow than a Spirea. In my opinion, this one is pretty special. It doesn’t require much care, all I do is chop mine in half every spring to keep it compact. Long lasting white flowers. Attractive gray foliage that turns burgundy in fall. Deer browse this shrub in winter but it comes right back no matter how much they munch it. Relatively drought resistant. Bulletproof shrub, fast growing. *The only downside to this shrub is that it looks like a bunch of sticks in late winter and early spring. If the deer munch it, the poor thing looks chewed up. But in my opinion, it’s worth it for the show you get later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/74c6981a-39ab-415f-b31f-0d77246160bf/DSC04974.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Early Blooming Trees And Shrubs: 3 Unsung Heroes That Deserve The Spotlight - Make it stand out Spirea ‘Snowstorm’ in early fall.

Here’s a photo taken in the backyard of my B@B in a small village near Northiam. The owner wanted to practice the no mow concept but didn’t like the lack of definition around his perennial beds. The solution was to mow a path around the edges. I thought it was very thoughtfully done and enjoyed meandering around on paths he had mowed through the lawn. Not mowing encourages prolific wildflowers and encourages birds and butterflies. Masses of buttercups, cow parsley and dandelions dominate the unmowed sections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/d1055667-a3ad-4e4d-8253-3b664eb8c8ea/no+mow+may+garden.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz -

The curves were inspired by his stint on a landscape crew back in college days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626807051462-0MPMKNJ8P1XCIB1UK89I/DSC04829.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Bee balm, Datura and Dill frame a path on the lawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626801634634-DLYS137X80KVOE1NMTEK/wisteria+trellis Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626802462631-IHS4KRRIPW0O6GKTVG25/DSC04820.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626803135693-6QY9H6XTCMKU07ZJQ8DC/path+to+greenhouse Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626807889519-IM7K0HSPA48AKR41ZQ7C/DSC04775.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626803653473-6V17CC7YCNF1TNWW1MLX/vegetable+garden Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Influenced by his mom’s huge vegetable garden, Brian followed in her footsteps and grows most of his own food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626881244306-SM3MVYQDSK4IYUOWLLRL/IMG_5178.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626804730797-RTKJ39LWVHBQ9O0GXN8H/DSC04817.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626804970050-Q73XQ34BGJO6B9I45762/compost+pile Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1626805234392-2TSKKR6PXRQKC0J3PFI7/self+seeders Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Down the garden path: Create a little magic with plants, paths and whimsical touches - Make it stand out Dill, poppies and daturas weave their way through the perennials - it looks so effortless!

All of these are perennials that can be overwintered in the containers if I decide to leave them in place. Note - any perennial or shrub you overwinter must be hardy to a zone below your area ( I’m in zone 5-6, my plants should be zone 4 or below). I couldn’t resist adding that little gold Sedum Japonicum ‘Tokyo Sun’ (at the bottom of the photo).

The Answer Is Foliage,Not Flowers A monochromatic mix of green, white and gray foliaged plants make up this composition - Ilex meservae ‘Blue Maid’ (Holly)’ Cornus alba ‘Ivory Halo’ (red twig dogwood) and Hosta sieboldiana ‘Elegans’. Cornus alba ‘Ivory Halo’ (red twig dogwood) is tough little shrub (4-5’) that puts forth crisp green and white foliage til fall. It can be grown in partial shade or full sun. When the leaves drop, bright red stems take center stage in the winter landscape. It’s worth having just about anywhere you put it, but I find it especially effective when viewed from a distance (below photo). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1613592644388-92JF22WIX3QRLJKPD2KY/red+twig+dogwood+-+variegated+foliage Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Want More Beauty And Less Work?

This is what it looked like when the shrubs started growing in. That's ninebark (Physocarpus 'Diablo' and 'Coppertina') in the background. The planted urn became a water feature later - another birthday gift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603736964556-UTECOXRHEFIXT2MDX7V5/froehlich_7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Here it is in it's infancy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737031784-6RMKZRZEYUSX7H0SCNUG/froehlich+8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Over a few years, it morphed into this. Frogs moved in. This fall I replaced the nepeta (bottom of photo) with miniature Hostas and Solomon Seals I wanted to experiment with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737143273-ZKKZQJG6QKVXSSJDYQA8/froehlich+9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Tweaking the plants: This took years - during which I killed a lot of plants. The first edging I planted was a big mistake. I wanted something that looked like lavender, so I planted Nepeta 'Blue Wonder.' It grew much fatter and happier than I thought it would. After spending my summer pruning it off the walkway, I had to rethink that choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737244428-OUXQZXDPT6J6LY12EQZF/froehlich+10.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey I had a fantasy about boxwood edging, but figured it probably wouldn't survive. By chance, I experimented with a variety called 'North Star.' and it turned out to be perfect fit for this tough spot. It lends form to the garden, especially in winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737328971-B273CYINVRV8EG76J0M2/froehlich+11.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Once I had the structure of the walkway, pergola and edging in place, it was much easier to narrow down the rest of the plants. Given the soil conditions, I was forced to choose perennials and shrubs that could survive without much watering. I managed to come up with some pretty good combinations in spite of that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737413915-BVCWTNEGYFVR5VZK15S6/alium_combo.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Sedum 'Purple Emperor,' Eryngium planum, Alium sphaerocaphalon and Nepeta 'Blue Wonder' This is around year 10. See that comfy lawn furniture? I wanted time to sit on it. That's when I quit relying on flowers for flash. I still have some, but over the past 5 years I've added a variety of small deciduous shrubs that cover space I used to weed. As you can see, I got a little carried away with gold foliage. These are indestructible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737600747-6EVDXJSX27VZKHQO6300/image-asset.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Now: It's odd to look back and remember how impatient I felt. While I was waiting, it seemed to take forever for those shrubs behind the urn to get big - now I fight to keep them under control! I can't even tell you how many vines bit the dust while I was trying to get them to grow up the pergola. Now they want to overtake the whole structure. Some plants die for no apparant reason, others defy all logic and flourish anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603737701552-9VK0ZS7ZGIT22HK0DN82/finished+garden.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It’s All About Perspective: A Gardener’s Journey Not knowing how everything is going to turn out is part of the magic of gardening.

Agastache foeniculum 'Kudos Red' - more compact (20" tall) than other varieties and much hardier. I've grown a variety of agastaches because I'm fond of the vivid flowers that attract hummingbirds and bees. I never count on it wintering over in my zone 5 garden, but definitely will try this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603740008308-1D8K8XQIVNZFJ1UPCTXG/3+agastache.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Making The Most Of It: 10 New Annuals Make Hard Times Better Agastache foeniculum 'Kudos Red' Ipomoea batatas 'Solar Tower Black' (aka sweet potato vine) is a vining variety Terri grew last year and particularly liked. "It's a terrific climber that grows mostly upward and will cover a trellis in no time," she reports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603740097033-5479R5NJHQF3ALES703N/4+sweet+potato+vine.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Making The Most Of It: 10 New Annuals Make Hard Times Better Ipomoea batatas 'Solar Tower Black and 'Solar Tower Lime' I'd like to give 'Solar Tower Black' a shot. I'm hoping it's a little less vigorous than it's mate, 'Solar Tower Lime'. I grew it up a trellis last summer (below photo) with great success but had to prune it often to keep the side growth from taking over. It was worth it for the flashy foliage though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603740227588-GTOJZT0P0TK250SHY358/5+sweet+potato.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Making The Most Of It: 10 New Annuals Make Hard Times Better And speaking of foliage, if you're into flash, Plectranthus amboinicus 'Guacamole' is just the ticket.

Plant it in partial sun or shade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603741267642-ZEHCT1A8S4GXZR8QPCUU/12+geranium.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Making The Most Of It: 10 New Annuals Make Hard Times Better Pelargonium peltatum 'Crocodile' Asclepias curassavica 'Monarch's Promise' isn't brand new, but this tropical beauty is a must have.

The question is - are garden centers going to be open? According to several business owners I interviewed, the answer is yes. Depending on where you shop, you might have to wait your turn. Good Earth plans to open April 25th, and will probably limit the number of customers allowed in the greenhouse. Many other garden centers will do the same or ask customers to call in their order, pay by phone with a credit card and pick it up at an outside location. Everything we're used to has come to a screeching halt, but this pandemic can't stop spring. It's comforting to know that we can still get excited about new plants, work in our gardens and hope for the best. https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/ev9iufsirmino4rx6yr31cy4v8uonu monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1603831399252-9X0LDZYN3ZA48DD835RO/1+chris.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz -

Oh No, Now What? 7 Ways To Perk Up A Weary Garden Deep weeding is harder and more time consuming. It pays to do this several times a season to get a handle on potential invasives, agressive weeds and other perennials that are getting too rambunctious. Get underneath plants, dig out deeply rooted weeds with a shovel or gardening knife and route out the ones growing in the centers. I confess that I can't always get these out by the roots but I think pulling off the top growth retards them somewhat. 5. Edit - too much of a good thing: These little violets seemed like a worthy groundcover for this woodland bed, but now they're choking out the other perennials. This is a junky plant, but even choice perennials and grasses can wind their way into neighboring plants. You have to decide which ones are going to win. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1605634382170-V1ZXAYI96W2FDIXA3QS1/image-asset.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Oh No, Now What? 7 Ways To Perk Up A Weary Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1605634538084-A1R56S1007AHWSTX3F8X/14+edit.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Oh No, Now What? 7 Ways To Perk Up A Weary Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1605634688028-88H213EDLEB933X9GTJN/15+holes.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Oh No, Now What? 7 Ways To Perk Up A Weary Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1605634767899-FJD584EKL218QFCCFJHP/16+holes.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Oh No, Now What? 7 Ways To Perk Up A Weary Garden https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/get-to-the-point-how-to-zero-in-on-the-best-focal-points monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1606177094183-JB1X61VQZGVVGJHZ2BU8/1+planting.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Get To The Point!

It didn't take much to get me on board with this idea - hauling them around in a tarp isn't my idea of a fun day in the garden. In this vegetable garden, they add tilth, (referring to its physical condition) to the soil. Adding organic matter allows for air infiltration and movement of water that allows plants to have healthier root systems. It's amazing how quickly they break down, and in this vegetable garden, they look neat enough to suit me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609785762279-V0ABVKAR2414ST11OJUO/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry At closer range in shrub and perennial beds, I rake leaves to the back areas and pile them up under trees and shrubs. Layers of rotted leaves break down and funnel nutrients into the plants, so I'm composting in place. "There's a microbial relationship going on here, " explains Nellie, trees produce leaves, which in turn produce nutrients that go back into the soil - all of that biological activity feeds the root system of the plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609785824893-F0170MJPUL5Q4QN46EES/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry I used to cut ornamental grasses down and get rid of them until she convinced me to leave them in place as mulch. Her reasoning makes sense - many grasses such as Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem) and panicums are thin and break down partially over the winter, by the time you cut them down they're pretty dried out. Thicker grasses, such as Miscanthus varieties can be chopped up in smaller pieces to help them break down faster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609785889134-5L906EWV4HEENZ9WXO92/8+copy.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609786558594-OQZK7W43WOJHSY0MTWDZ/10.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry Aside from the benefits of doing less work, these practices continue to improve the quality of the soil in my garden and the plants guzzle the nutrients down appreciatively. After all, this is pretty much just following what plants do in nature, and as my frieind Nellie says, "you're in the food chain helping it from the ground up. If you feed the soil it feeds you back." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609785586701-QNJGYF2SQ6X5D6SKXA1R/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609785463897-MJ3WVZ6OI6ETTK0JOOBK/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Feed Me, I'm Hungry https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/bromeliads-anyone-tempting-easy-to-grow-tropicals monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609033012029-JW8GWH2F055FXWSYHTVY/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Bromeliads Anyone?

You can see that less is more no matter where you walk. If you don't have an arboretum or park nearby, a trek through the woods has plenty to offer. My New Years resolution is this, why wait until I'm having a melt down? Sign me up for more winter walks! https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/its-not-easy-being-green-rethinking-holiday-containers monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609366247052-GAYKJXBSCI9CE4E9Q30H/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It's Not Easy Being Green: Rethinking Holiday Containers There's no rule that says the whole thing has to be filled with evergreens, right? Scoping out what was left of my garden, I noticed all kinds of ornamental grasses and perennials with interesting seedheads - maybe I could get a little more mileage out of them. Why not? They're kind of pretty as they're going to seed, and after all, it could be a Thanksgiving treat for the birds. I picked some of them, grouped them together in bunches and jammed them into the potting soil I had left in the boxes when I yanked out the summer annuals. The more I added, the better I liked it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609366292366-LGTAYYF9WCHC6TDMPR0Q/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It's Not Easy Being Green: Rethinking Holiday Containers Here's a ligularia I had forgotten about.

That's just what I happened to have in my garden, but you could pick just about any type of perennial or grass that has a significant seed head. There are many varieties of plants that could provide an interesting mix for a winter container. Don't confine yourself to your own garden. Look around - weedy things like bitterweet, thistles and milkweed pods are fun to play around with too. Just make sure that whatever you pick is sturdy enough to withstand wind and snow. Here's a list of some plants that would be suitable. sedums yellow or red twig dogwood, birch, or anything with an interesting branching habit. rudbeckia echinacea (coneflower) rose hips berrying branches aliums milkweed pods ornamental grasses When you're putting your container together make sure to jam the stems deeply into the soil so they don't blow away. Group grasses and perennials into bunches before putting them into the soil - they show up better. If you already have existing soil in your container, so much the better, as it will probably be damp and heavy enough to secure the stems and branches. If you're using new potting soil, or adding to it, water it in and tamp it down around the stems and branches. The biggest challenge is to get your container or window box finished before the soil is frozen solid. Depending on where you live, there's still a little time left! As all of the plants I've mentioned can be left standing in the garden all winter, I have no doubt that they'll hold up nicely in a window box or any other type of outdoor container. I leave mine for the birds anyway, but by putting them in the window boxes I have the option of seeing them up close - an added source of entertainment for me as I watch them from my kitchen window! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609366623213-H8PCVQCSIYW8QMLI8FKA/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It's Not Easy Being Green: Rethinking Holiday Containers https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/get-in-the-mood-strategies-for-gardeners-who-hate-to-weed monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609627849773-YKZP59LC2YTDQFWXDGUP/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Get In The Mood: Strategies For Gardeners Who Hate To Weed Deep Cleaning Weeding: So soul cleansing, a true spiritual experience. There's nothing more satisfying than digging those big mothers out by the roots. It's a real pick me up for when you're feeling a little down in the dumps. Be honest, do you take time to get all those huge weeds out by the roots in the summer? I didn't think so. Don't go at it all day when you do this kind of weeding, it's a foot and back killer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609627908010-GSJ0DWTZLTGY8U6C2Z5F/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Get In The Mood: Strategies For Gardeners Who Hate To Weed This monster is not coming back into my garden any time soon.

Hope no one will notice the others. A must for when garden clubs, relatives and gardening friends come to visit. Your gardening friends will notice, but they probably won't say anything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609628228281-X4DPRHKWN2FJXNJYHRQN/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Get In The Mood: Strategies For Gardeners Who Hate To Weed Suck It Up And Do It Anyway Weeding: Sometimes it just comes down to this. The right mood just hasn't struck and I have to get on with it. Reserved for desperate situations when the garden has gotten completely out of hand. At the end of the day I'll console myself by flopping on the couch with a beer and eat triscuits and cheese for dinner. This strategy works for me, and it's great therapy - cheap and to the point. After spending a day weeding,my garden looks better and I've either solved all my problems or I'm too tired to care anymore. I think I've hit the main categories, but I'll bet some of you can add a few.

Maybe I was rebelling against symmetry or something.... I don't remember why I moved it to such a unhospitable spot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609780479359-TP08IN1ZL9SROSRSN0KP/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - From Mistake To Masterpiece: An Easy Plant Fix I felt pretty guilty when I saw the results of my folly, and tried to repair it by tying the splayed out branches in toward the trunk, but the darn thing still leaned over and looked pretty stupid. It was beyond staking, too big for me to move by myself, and options like pruning the top back or chopping it down didn't appeal to me much. But what the heck can you do with a bent over shrub that is supposed to be upright? After pondering the situation for awhile, the answer came to me - work with the bend. Why not move it back to its original place and marry it up to the other one to make an arch? I knew it would be perfect.Some varieties of arborvitae get pretty big and might not be suitable, but 'Degroot's Spire' is a slow grower with a narrow growth habit that stays within a 20 foot height range. Matt, my daughter's strong (and indulgent) fiance, was kind enough to move it back to its original home for me when they came over for dinner last week. I guess I now have a reputation that no one gets a free meal around here. I gave it a little time to recover before I pounded a couple of sturdy 8 foot stakes deep into the ground and secured them to the trunks with heavy plastic coated wire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609780806007-FRU0P460FR5F202Z94I9/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - From Mistake To Masterpiece: An Easy Plant Fix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609780869590-BC655A8DQ3OY9PBMD5EP/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - From Mistake To Masterpiece: An Easy Plant Fix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609780900667-KKMS0301TNQXCHFCJDX0/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - From Mistake To Masterpiece: An Easy Plant Fix The two didn't meet exactly in the middle because the bent arb was taller. It looked a little lopsided when I finished, so I added an extra stake several feet away and put some tension on the wire to round out the arch. A little less than perfect, but not bad. You can hardly see the wire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609780949743-9EN0HGKEGONBI8V2OV4R/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - From Mistake To Masterpiece: An Easy Plant Fix Ta da!

My jaw dropped when I saw this flashy mix of blue and yellow in my friend Karen Bussolini's garden last fall - Rudbeckia submentosa 'Henry Eilers and Aster obligonfolius 'October Skies'. 'Henry Eilers' is so tall and gangly - I had it in my garden and could never figure out what to pair it up with. 'October Skies' is a perfect mate because it's shorter and has a more compact growth habit. Pair them up in the back of a border and you've got something pretty special. What more could you ask for, especially at the end of the growing season? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609787425896-622XFQ8Y2WV2944SN3VW/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - I Want The Wow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609787478149-J8AO3JM5QLCOWZ1EI9E7/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - I Want The Wow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609787546410-KD7TRR5M78X5RDIKFVND/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - I Want The Wow My friend Nellie Gardner hates to weed, and came up with this idea to keep them at bay. I love the way these two perennials work together - Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Little Spire' and Knautia macedonica. The perovskia blooms after the knautia and the foliage covers up the spent flowers.

The tiny golden leaves cascade abundantly from the pot I have on my west facing windowsill and it looks perkier than most of my other houseplants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609789847831-W41LJIYFAC2WKDP0WUWY/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry And speaking of houseplants, that leads me to my next promise - to quit futzing around with the ones that don't cut it. After I hauled the most pathetic specimens out to the compost, I had more room on my windowsill. This prompted a shopping trip for plants, and since I had succulents on the brain, I took a trip to Honeoye Falls, New York to visit to Todd Lighthouse, owner of Lighthouse Gardens to see what he was growing. His greenhouses are filled with edible and ornamental plants grown organically in his own special soil mix. This winter, he's added succulents "They're popular now because they provide flowers, are easy to grow and don't require much water," he says. Propagating them is a cinch, Todd cuts the tops off and puts them in a flat open tray to get the cuttings to root. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609789912948-ORCL4N25KMVH4ZZMGSAU/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry Most sedums and stonecrops are cold tolerant and hardy to zone 3-5. Other members of the succulent family are more tropical and won't survive winters outside, but some of them make great houseplants. I saw a few sitting on a windowsill in his house, and asked him which varieties would do best there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609789973439-TZK8IF1WRQR730J2HAP6/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry "The more tropical varieties with thicker leaves such as sedums, crassulas and echeverias do better inside," he told me. A south to southeast exposure is preferable, but extremely warm temperatures aren't required. Todd keeps his greenhouse at around 40 degrees. They like it dry...my kind of houseplant. He plans to combine succulents in hanging baskets to sell to his customers this summer. After feasting my eyes on the rich colors and textures spread out on the growing tables, I decided to do some combining of my own. Even without flowers, these silver and purplish rose gems, Graptopetalum 'Paraguayense','Pentandrum' and Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' are a wow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609790036873-MB6S7315ITRO2XU07C6W/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry One of the darkest toned echeverias, Echeveria 'Black Prince', won my heart - I had to buy it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609790119275-SOMKZ29TCM0V73QO3YIE/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609790171882-P2CX0QPYIXQ13VEQX4MG/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609790268305-GQ8IQMM2OOSPUAO5S7V7/9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Some Like It Dry No surprise, I came home with all of the above, plus a few others.

I can't do anything about it now, so I've resorted to armchair gardening, aka snow gardening. I've been pouring through my collection of garden photos for inspiration, and came across several shots I took last year on a December trip to Tower Hill Botanic Gardens in Boylston, Mass. The gardens are impressive, particularly in winter. It has it all - interesting forms, excellent structure, lots of texture, tons of berrying shrubs and trees, and a wide range of color. If you're like me,and want the wow factor, incorporating some of these these elements into your garden might do the trick. Form and Structure: Interesting shapes make you pay attention. Even without their leaves, these deciduous trees are commanding. The grasses in the background catch the light and add subtle color and texture. I like their verticality and the way they define the garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954546554-63DZR01P8RMATFL1IFJT/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening Colorful Shrubs and Grasses: I almost forgot it was winter when I walked into this part of the garden! Brilliant masses of red and yellow twig Dogwoods (Cornus alba 'Sibirica' and Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea') give it a lot of pizzazz. The soft reddish hues of the wispy grasses and gold and gray conifers in the background emphasize the colors even more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954599304-IT2E0GZZGIYEPAGHILTA/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954636451-5YM4YM1KZKCM8W3SX8TS/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954692103-R3ZY5UEZWF1DQKL2VMV6/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening This River Birch (Betula nigra) is dramatic against the winter sky and a stunning companion alongside shrubs like this Winterberry (Ilex verticillata). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954736743-4IK84H4T4XJVEB52TXQ5/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954792447-PSZ9PLINCKDJYX99CP5U/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609954855781-M0LVN838EZ850L8NN6VY/9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Snow Gardening For a little extra entertainment, I fill the window boxes with greens, twigs and berries after I yank out the annuals in fall.

After experimenting with the shapes a little more, she arrived at a plan she liked - the two tear-drop shaped beds you see below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609955887910-Q062A66U19MCAYQWVUIA/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609956312542-X06OFVJRDZ3RBDVWC90P/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? Linda spent her winter researching plants, and there was a lot to consider. Heavy clay soil, roots from the maple tree, partial shade and baking sun in other areas presented challenges. She wanted to start with shrubs, but as a novice gardener, wasn't sure what to choose. While doing research on possible plants, she decided it would be easier to keep track of them on a spread sheet, listing cultural information and descriptions. When Linda finalized the plants, she cut and pasted them into a separate list. She took it with her when shopping at garden centers and nurseries. Linda stuck to her guns and waited when specific varieties weren't available - "having the list really helped me to resist impulse buying", she reported. Smart girl - I wish I had that much will power. She made a budget too - even smarter. As you can see below, her list is impressive. Even though all of the plants she researched for these two beds weren't used this spring, she now has a list of others she can refer to later. Plant Ordered March 2016 3 Hakonechlo Macra ‘Aureola’ -Japanese forest grass 1 Kalmia Latifolia ‘Pristine’ 1 Tricyrtis formosana ‘Gilt Edge’ Toad Lily 3 Sarcococca hookeriana var humilis 3 Deutzia gracilis Crème Fraiche 1 Tiarella ‘Sugar and Spice’ 3 Gaultheria procumbens - creeping wintergreen 1 Betula x plettkei Golden Treasure Stage 1: In spring she hired a landscaper to strip off the sod and bring in soil and compost for the beds. They were raised because the shallow rooted maple prohibited any deep digging. The area between the bed and the privet was mulched. Notice that there is wide path by the privet hedge for pruning access. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609956662158-26B2ZZNND0WHV655VNAS/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? Stage 2: Linda felt most confident about planting under the pear tree, and began there. She laid out the plants and slowly added more under the maple. It turned out that there wasn't as much shade there as she originally thought, so the plant list got a few tweaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609957292420-KGJS3YP2N4IGW4LQS2U2/linda_6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609957009882-1PFEM9YYBAVAJ9F24FRF/linda_9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? Stage 4: When Linda was finished she wanted a way to walk through her new garden. There was a mulched path, but she soon realized that it wasn't defined enough, "there was no contrast between the beds," she said. Her son-in-law offered her some big pieces of bluestone that seemed perfect for the job. She laid it out, and her son and husband put the main pieces in,curving the walk to accentuate the shape of the beds. After planting all the shrubs she could afford, she socked in some annuals to fill the bare spots - a quick and inexpensive way to get immediate gratification when you have a new garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609957103272-6FEW341NBGJXHOWDTMCU/linda_11.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609957199769-FBWD1S9BSG6LHYIIVN2E/edited_linda_after.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - What's The Big Idea? This is the view from the house, and just the beginning of Linda's ongoing plan to improve her property. Next year she wants to explore more varieties of shrubs as she sees how big the newly planted ones get. More evergreens such as boxwood and conifers are on her wish list, but right now, she's waiting to see how buried they might get in the snow.

Sure, I had a few hollies here and there that sported clusters of red berries, but it looked paltry by comparison. I suppose one of the reasons was lack of space, my garden is too small for most of the trees and shrubs I fell in love with in Margaret's garden, so lately, I've been checking out small berrying shrubs that might be suitable. For a long time I rejected Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana, zones 5-8), because it leafs out late and looks dead until the end of June. I changed my mind about it in September when I saw several handsome masses nestled into a hillside in the State Botanical Garden in Athens,Georgia. I forgot how pretty they are once they start doing their thing. Those bright little purple clusters are irresistible, and so what if it looks like a bunch of sticks until June? I might be able to live with that. It berries from September until the end of November when the birds finish them off. It will set fruit in partial shade, but is more opulent in the sun. As fall progresses, the leaves turn striking yellow. Its size (4-8 feet) qualifies it for a spot in a small garden like mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609961486498-CM0BC0YB84OOX997E30X/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It's The Berries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609961547662-58QE9ZNIAV734XYSFNMM/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - It's The Berries My friend and horticulturist Nellie Gardner at the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo turned me on to Coralberry (Symphoricarpos oriculatas, zones 3-7).

They garden on a much grander scale than I do, and I can only dream about some of the stunning trees and shrubs they grow. But as we walked around, Gordon pointed out an 'Aralia spinosa' (commonly known as Spikenard, zones 4-9) growing in the corner of one of the beds. It just might be the perfect tree for if you want berries and have limited space like I do. It is actuallly classified as an upright perennial that grows beween ten to fifteen feet tall.

They're taking up all the room - didn’t I divide them last fall? I keep feeding that crambe cordifolia,it has never bloomed and probably won’t - I'm done with it. And yikes! That tall rudbeckia over there in the corner of the bed is crawling all over everything else and crowding out that new batch of perovskia I just put in. Clearly, some things just have to go, others need dividing and moving. I know doing all of this will make my garden look better and give me room to plant new things, but part of me dreads the idea of doing all that digging and dividing. I’m not looking forward to doing battle with that substantial clump of Siberian iris – just looking at makes my foot and back hurt. Yeah, just try putting your shovel into one of those babies and you’ll see what I mean. They have massive roots that are thick and very tough to cut into with a shovel. Time to get my trusty little ax out and start whacking away. Don’t gasp - I know it sounds like abuse, but plants with tough dense root stems like siberian iris, hosta, astilbe and hemerocallis can take it. You can use my ax method to divide those enormous clumps of ornamental grasses too, but wait until spring because they don’t like being dug up in the fall. This is how you do it: Step 1: Cut down all of the foliage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610207446335-NNOK2LBMF51EGTTSWFPD/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Take an ax to it Step 2: Take your ax and cut into the plant.

Basically, he believes that if you locate plants in locations that suit their needs and connect them with those that have similar lifestyles,they'll thrive with minimal care and maintenance. His book is easy to follow and he includes photos of many diverse and beautiful gardens along with plans and information about the plants. After reading it, I decided to try out his ideas. This bed was small, so I chose a limited palette of plants and arranged them in drifts of 12 or so. I substituted a few of my own when I couldn't find the varieties he specified. The plants I used were: Salvia 'Pink Friesland' and 'East Friesland', Echinacea 'White Swan','Echinacea Pow Wow Wildberry', Calamintha 'White Cloud' and Alium sphaerocaphalon. Roy's plans include many varieties of carex that he uses to knit the plants together. I chose Carex 'Flacca' because I liked the soft wiry gray foliage. It quickly filled in the bare spaces between the other plants and the whole thing melded together in a sort of impressionistic fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610208424744-584YYFFV3AA72JAA0RWT/2jpg.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Sustainable and Satisfying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610208499591-RKLYY1E9XQKT163R92HO/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Sustainable and Satisfying What I liked even better was that this garden has looked great all summer without much fussing. The annuals and herbs I had planted there before always looked bedraggled no matter what I did, due to the combination of heavy dry clay soil,and munching deer. And it was way too much work! The new bed is closely planted, so there isn't much weeding and because the plants are suited to the soil conditions, they get by with minimal watering. I was a little worried that the salvias might start looking ratty, but I kind of liked the inflourescence that was left after they bloomed. When they were totally spent, I chopped them back and now have a bunch of new flowers coming out. Truly a sustainable and beautiful planting that I plan to do more of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610208597321-9NFSWZSJSTY5KTETN4ZG/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Sustainable and Satisfying https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/watering-woes monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210109832-RJNLFKAJJTUHYCT0A03X/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210279949-DZR7DLL9D6NF7N3JR1AS/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes We tweaked it up and left an opening on the side for the hose and elevated the bottom so the sprinkler could oscillate properly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210312347-YO9L5GUJPF7ET24ZTR7U/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210380956-NGY6TROLE55QEJS53TTK/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes After doing this project, I was pumped up about trying the idea at home. I decided to place the pot in the center of my vegetable garden and use a small rotating sprinkler instead of an oscillating type. I drew the hose through the hole in the bottom of the pot and propped up the sprinkler on top of a couple old bricks, fitting its edge under the lip of the pot. I wedged in two pieces of wood to hold the hose in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210511285-LMIYP3SLGYKPUP6YI97G/watering_4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes Not real attractive, but I hid all of this by stuffing in some black net fabric I had left over from another project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210554131-SHH07731BR3HB2IN6J0D/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes I added an old wrought iron candle holder to the top to give it some height. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210598532-H4GAYXOSTQNXGK2VBX2Z/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes I hid the hose underneath the mulch and as a final touch, potted up a dangly sweet potato vine and stuck it in the center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210643992-F1MQ8N2ARI10QL4VH6ZS/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes That black net isn't quite the look I want, so I think I"ll replace it with mulch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610210726022-6C1V8R6XSNFRL9JSTJ68/7+copy.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Watering Woes Not bad for a first try though, and it sure beats the blue plastic tote. https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/outsmarting-the-deer monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610211474332-N33VP0E5DH3X8BF0IC7N/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610211801894-1ONLFA6MLVV0TNIFIQQA/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer Sure, it will look bare in the winter, but isn't that better than looking at munched up shrubs and deer netting? Forget winter interest, it will probably be under a couple of feet of snow anyway. Here's what we planted instead. Hydrangea 'Lady in Red' is a reliable bloomer with attractive pink lacecap flowers. It stays a manageable size, around 4 feet, and even if the deer nip the flowers, the red veined foliage is interesting enough on its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610211886141-1GO8QGQ04CBNT8SRNLB1/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer The fall foliage is terrific. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610212184212-842GHU9B2UZUI5JB6D05/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610212271754-LU8LEZSN7HE7BUPTVTKI/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer We beefed up the front of the planting with a low perennial groundcover, Teucrium 'Greystone' (Germander). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610212307882-CN6NL5NAEQP9JHL5QD7A/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610212369403-WVPBSIY5B2Q4IDP6MYYH/deer_proof_planting.9jpg.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610212485961-7Y0GGBVIO3QY8RAGDWZ2/10.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Outsmarting The Deer Here's another, Spirea 'Ogon' behind the Hydrangea 'Lady in Red'. It gets a little taller (5-6') so you might not want to put it in front of a window like I did. I whack it back to keep it under control and it rewards me with denser foliage.

These may not be the sexiest plants around, but they're attractive, easy to care for and grow quickly. There were other things in the bed already, lamium, a few ferns and some matricaria that had self seeded. I figured they could duke it out with each other. I admit that Geranium 'Biokovo' is a rambunctious grower - it would eat this little boxwood (in the picture below) right up if I let it. But it's easy to pull out and weeds rarely permeate its dense foliage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610214735889-I4SQ6PQNU32SJXMAH36R/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Plants That Get The Job Done It's hardly a choice perennial, but it's a terrific groundcover. From late May through mid June, it puts on a nice show. Shade, sun, dry rooty soil, whatever - it doesn't miss a beat. The foliage may be a little drab after it flowers, but the tidy little leaves look good all summer - if you plant it in a bit of sun, the foliage will turn deep magenta in the fall. Hostas may not seem glamorous, but you can count on them to perform. Big bodacious leaves, multi-hued colors and variegated foliage...what's not to like? Most of them can tolerate sun, shade and less than stellar soil conditions. Below is a shot of the nightmare bed after I planted it.

I thought we might not have enough privacy, but once I started planting, the fence receded into the background and I could barely make out what was on the other side. Thinking of the view my neighbors would see, I worked on the outside of the fence first. As I had limited space, I chose tall plants that wouldn't get too wide and could be cut back later - butterfly bush, a variety of ornamental grasses, daylilies and perennial sunflowers. It seemed a little bare when I first planted it in the spring, but as soon as it warmed up, the grasses and buddleia took off. I grew honeysuckle and clematis up the fence to break up the space. Here's what it looked like after I planted it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610216150927-ARTHD2SO3UF8O61CO1TR/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Room With A View On our side of the fence, I planted structural plants first - here are a few of them, a small dogwood, several varieties of pine, and a Japanese maple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610216211548-F7RE2EVCYWES9UWUDAF6/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Room With A View I layered in perennials, smaller shrubs and groundcovers next.

When we first moved into the house, I arranged groupings of containers to keep the walls from glaring at me, but the patio was small (11x18') and there were so many of them that it our patio looked sloppy and crowded. After years of moving them around in various configurations, I decided to simplify the container theme by using fewer and going bigger. I figured that would take up less space and I'd be able to plant more in them. I started looking around for square or rectangular containers I could leave outside all winter and fit against the walls of the house. I couldn't find any that were the right size or shape though, so my husband and I decided to build them. He designed and constructed three rectangular (19" wide x 2 feet tall) cedar planters to fit the length of each wall. I wanted to plant vertically too, so we added these 6 foot iron trellises. Phil drilled holes into the back edge of the container and slid them in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610477424027-3BC6UFYJH3PX1UMPVZR2/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Cover Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610477468777-QHW5J9OVUKD69Q1XVYR7/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Cover Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610477533134-0O8J4S73IL52J5WEI7OY/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Cover Up This one was got more sun.

I sharpen my hand pruners and loppers with a stone on a weekly basis and before I tackle any big job. Keep a good edge on your shovels - if they're sharp it makes digging a pleasure (well almost). Get rid of rakes and shovels that have wobbly handles or are broken. Working with such tools is a struggle that makes everything hurt more - backs, shoulders, hands...not to mention the crying and cursing that goes along with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610478827142-RIAM1HKOW7GUSIGCCVQV/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up I don't think you need to get rid of all of the leaves that accumulate in the beds, but don't let big piles smother the smaller shrubs and perennials. If you have evergreens and/or deciduous shrubs, rake the leaves behind them - they’ll break down over the summer, hold in moisture and help build up the soil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610478902772-CV9RH2MV50IJXWXP8055/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up How to tell what’s dead and what’s not Make a cut into the plant at the tip of the branch with your pruning shears - green wood means the plant is alive, brown means it's dead. Sometimes only part of a plant dies back - cut until you find green wood. Take a look at the base of the plant to check for new growth. If you aren’t sure, wait until the weather warms up and look for signs of life. Don't be impatient, a lot of shrubs such as Buddleia, Callicarpa and Caryopteris look like a bunch of sticks until around the end of May. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610478952340-51R9VXNPABICOIPSDIZV/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610478987594-2W4YE0U9EZ8ADJ21JE2A/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up Why should you edge? It sure makes the beds look crisp and clean! Edging with a straight edged shovel delineates the shape of the bed and makes it easier to mow around. It also keeps grass and weeds from infringing into the borders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610479043526-53D5NP3S8CP4YTAB1O6I/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610479066406-RUBBMCG848TCJWS2MA98/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up What about weeds and possible invasives? Once the beds are cleaned off, take a close look at what’s coming up. Check for invasive weeds - there are many varieties, but you'll generally see lots of one type of plant (look at the leaves) in several areas of the garden. You can dig them out by the roots, but if you have big masses of them, this option isn't practical. Try smothering with layers of newspaper or cardboard and covering with a heavy layer of mulch to kill them - or at least slow down their growth. Look for other weeds encroaching into the beds and working their way into the centers of your plants. Eradicating by digging them out by the roots and getting invasive plants under control is much easier to before they go to seed and spread further. What should you do about perennials? If your perennials are crowding each other out, now is the time to do something about it. Most perennials can be moved in spring, but there are exceptions, so check to make sure whatever you're dividing will tolerate being moved now. Relocate them to bare spots or beef up other plantings. While you're at it, dig out any of the loser plants you didn't get rid of last year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610479145365-J4BYB2AKEFX99MDGURTP/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610479274090-0TAKAUE9O5NGVNUBYOON/9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Wake Up How to you fix shabby looking shrubs and trees so they look better? Prune off dead and broken branches.

Start by pruning out the dead wood and crossing branches to open the center. Cut shrub roses back by one half. Reduce climbers to 5 or 6 canes and prune minimally at the top.

Neither one of us liked it, but we had differing opinions about how to proceed. I thought we were going to use this spot as to sit in, but didn't want to move the the outdoor furniture every time it was time to mow the grass. Paving it with more bluestone seemed like the next logical step to me, but Phil wanted to build a greenhouse there. At the time, it didn't matter that we didn't agree because we couldn't afford to do either of these things. While we were socking away more cash and debating our next step, I moved a lawnchair to the future spot of the patio/greenhouse and sat down. I have to say, it was a rude awakening. The view of the garden pleased me when I walked through it, but sitting there was another matter. I thought I had enough plants to screen the view of our neighbor's driveway and the road, but from the vantage point of my chair, I felt way too exposed. The afternoon sun beat down upon me and made me feel hot and cranky - hardly the romantic little oasis I had in mind. We needed more shrubs and some shade. In my mind, a pergola with vines seemed like just the right thing, but I wasn't sure about the dimensions, paving or what plants I wanted. On the other end of the spectrum, Phil continued his campaign for the greenhouse. To win him over to my cause, I put up an 8x10 market tent to simulate a pergola and moved our comfy outdoor furniture into it to get an idea of what it would feel like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610481209551-U89B60OY61HAPEHRH5Z8/7+copy.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Have A Seat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610481280972-4ATRQUJPT9LY3JG307D6/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Have A Seat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610481305232-7ZCSTPCSDNPG0E7C7N9W/9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Have A Seat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610481335055-85NODXIH200PXJU9SU1U/10.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Have A Seat There are many ways to visualize the next step of a garden, but I haven't found anything that beats sitting in it.

As I surveyed these poor looking specimens, guilt and shame overcame my desire for future flowers. I got out my pruning equipment and started in on the lilac. It's a lot easier to deal with all that twiggy growth if you cut off the smaller shoots crowding the biggest trunks first. Once I did that, there was more room to get into the shrub and remove the dead branches. I opened it up even more by pruning the side shoots that were growing into the middle of the shrub. I took down the tallest growth at the top and the sides to reduce its size. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610482837870-JFWIWL8HJENIZVQLDZ74/at_the_base.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Prune Now! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610482867511-0GT9CUTIM4IZZT4FAYA6/cleaned_up.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Prune Now! Looks much better doesn't it? Even though, I sacrificed some of the flowers, it’s worth it because next year, I'll have a healthier and more attractive plant that will give me better blooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610482913189-818FMSG15IIV9E1L87GU/done.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Prune Now! There are many rules about what to prune and when to do it. But the bottom line is that it has to be done eventually, and it's much easier in late winter or early spring when you can see the structure of the shrub. I figure the worst that can happen is that you'll forgo the flowers. The best is that you’ll have a healthier, more attractive shrub that will bloom better the following year. You can prune just about any deciduous flowering shrub in spring. The method I just described can be used on shrubs such as Deutzia, Lilac, Viburnum and Cotinus (Smoke Bush). If you want to reduce the size, start at the top and take off the longest branches. Do the same with the side growth. Prune off little at a time and try to keep it evenly shaped. Make your cuts at the node-the juncture of where the main trunk and the side shoots meet. Note: Healthy lilacs and viburnums respond well to hard pruning. If they’re leggy or full of dead wood, I cut them to the ground. They sprout up again quickly and you can start all over again with brand new growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610482964071-FPUNEU6WBDTHX8G5SKLI/at_the_node.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Prune Now! Shrubs such as Red Twig Dogwood, Buddleia, Caryopteris and Clethra produce healthier foliage and better blossoms if you cut them back too: Cut back by at least one half or even more if the plant has gotten too large. This will also make it easier to reach in to get rid of dead wood. No artistic pruning is required here, you can shape them with your pruning shears or hedge clippers. You can prune dwarf spireas in the spring too. They bloom on new growth so you won't lose any flowers. I reduce their size by at least half and round them out with hedge clippers. This year, my mantra is to prune and feed more. Top dressing with compost is next -stay tuned. https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/a-boxwood-you-dont-have-to-baby monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485003990-V0IEKX3A5O00UHWO6RFS/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Boxwood You Don't Have To Baby https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485084560-AN833H0L59419P4FOCJ3/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Boxwood You Don't Have To Baby https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485150759-VSRAHL4OAKLU5M0FEF8Q/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Boxwood You Don't Have To Baby It's a boxwood that doesn't need much coddling and obviously can take a lot of abuse from both the site and the gardener.

Last weekend I decided to find out exactly what her secret is. "I keep them in the basement," she told me. I followed her down the stairs,expecting to see some sophisticated type of grow light system. But no, what I saw were a bunch of deadlooking plants sitting next to the washing machine and packed together on a table in a shadowy basement room. Although the window does face south, you can see that they aren't getting a whole lot of light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485434206-RITB7Q36KN8RV8WVL5B9/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Bloom Already! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485454983-Q6P12U41WLQIH36BYLF2/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Bloom Already! Hmm..not what I was expecting. But according to Martha, the key is a 2-3 month period of dormancy, and that's what they get in her basement. During the summer months, she keeps them in a shaded corner of her greenhouse, waters them sparingly (every three weeks) and mists the foliage regularly. If you don't have a greenhouse, just tuck them into a corner of your garden or patio and keep them out of direct sun so the foliage doesn't burn. Around the end of September or early October, hers go down to the basement where the temperature is cooler. The dormant period is what they need to store up their resources for the next bloom. Here's the drill: 1. Bring orchids to a cool room or basement-make sure the temperature does not go below 50 degrees. They should have some light-a southeast window is perfect. 2. Do not water. 2. Around January, move them into a warmer room and put in a southeast or east facing window. 3. Feed the soil with a fertilizer formulated for orchids or a 12-12-12 balanced fertilizer such as Miracle Gro. Fertilize the foliage by misting it with a sprayer. 4.Water and feed every 3 weeks. Sounds easy doesn't it? I don't have a basement, but next winter I'm going to put mine in the upstairs bedroom where I have a southeast window and the heat is set low. If I can get the same results as Martha, I'll have something to smile about all winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485507407-95AXLOI7XC7RIJP9NWFG/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Bloom Already! https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/clean-up-time monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485883816-HZP59MLHJAG9UMPSOWVI/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time Last weekend I thought I'd get a jump on the garden while the weather was nice. I was itching to cut back the clematis vines on the front of the house. I have a lot of them, and yes, they are the very ones I wrote about so enthusiastically in last weeks post! Their woody stems take forever to break down and so do the ornamental grasses I wanted to cut down. I wanted to get to work, but hesitated because pick up wasn't schedued until the end of the month and I didn't want grass foliage and vines blowing all over the neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485908564-IMD9EV70GX0A4FW706OM/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485930182-5LKJ7YXM6Y96FEJSLJA9/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time As I pondered my options, I remembered the small electric leaf shredder I had cast into the outer darkness of my tool shed. I bought it to make leaf compost, but it proved to be a useless piece of equipment because the leaves (which were never dry) got all gummed up in the blades and jammed the machine every time I used it. It occurred to me that I might have better luck shredding the grasses and vines. I thought dryness might be the key factor for success, and I was right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610485972784-AA0QJZ323I2BQ84ZRF9W/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time Sure enough, the machine hungrily chomped them down in no time. It did jam a few times, but only because I got greedy and tried to stuff too much in at once. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610486010020-1YF7387VZEUYQHU2NFBZ/9.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time When I got the hang of it, I made quick work of the pile and reduced 9 vines and 10 hefty ornamental grasses into 8 buckets of finely shredded material that I dumped on the compost heap. I managed to get the job done in about 3 hours from start to finish. This is what it looked like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610486054322-9CJ3KT3LTFANC4R5TAOW/10.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Clean Up Time I'm not suggesting that you buy a leaf shredder, but if you have one, why limit it to chewing up leaves? This trusty little machine is now back in my good graces and earning its place in my tool shed. I'm going to start looking around in those dark corners to see what other treasures I can unearth. https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/a-gardening-book-everyone-should-have monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487524503-JINSE5ABQT8N6ZXK8LUG/Tree_book_cover.jpeg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Gardening Book Everyone Should Have The first two sections address design and criteria for choosing plants which include beautiful photographs, illustrations and expert guidance. My favorite part of the book is the chapter titled: Trees and Shrubs A-Z. Not only is it alphabetized so you can find plants easily, the author is generous with real life information on the merits or problems of each one. At the bottom of every plant listing, she includes her favorites (Designers Choices) based on her own experience. I’d have to make a lot of phone calls to get this kind of information! Karen Bussolini’s beautiful photographs present an accurate picture of what the plant really looks like close up as well as in the landscape. I keep this book on my drawing table at all times, and when I’m trying to come up with a plan I’m particularly grateful for the ideas it generates. It’s surely a book that would be useful to any novice or experienced gardener, whether they need help planning, planting or maintaining their landscape. Kudos to Penelope O’Sullivan and Karen Bussolini for doing a bang up job on a book that is sorely needed and one I would never be without! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487608661-JM2X2CZP929H1R6HS9P4/OSullivan_Penelope.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Gardening Book Everyone Should Have https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487631122-7D3R6JDOLV36VNM7J2QU/Karen_Bussolin.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - A Gardening Book Everyone Should Have https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/grow-up monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487007107-YWF8A2KYA0FCWXMCUEVE/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! The trellises were attractive enough by themselves, but I couldn't resist tarting them up with vines and turning them into living shutters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487059221-ZIX1UL66FAEL287Y1DVO/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487090125-8TO3JGXZXIU1WT0F2BQM/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! While we might not be replacing the vinyl siding any time soon, I’ve managed to cover most of it up with clematis and honeysuckle vines. If you have limited space as I do, or you want to cover up stuff you’d rather not look at, trellises are just the thing. Here on the right, they're hiding a gas meter and providing another layer of color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487129699-FXOESO1ZGMN1SYAMVDZC/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! They can be attached to the house or act as free-standing structures you can integrate into your plantings. Ours are attached, but to prevent damage to the siding, we spaced them a few inches away from the house. I recommend doing a little research on vines before you plant them. Wisteria, trumpet vines and climbing hydrangea are several that are not house friendly because they develop thick woody stems that can lift the shingles or siding right off. They require a fair amount of pruning to keep them in check too. The star shaped flowers of Clematis ‘Betty Corning,’ ‘Jackmanii’ and ‘Nellie Moser,’ cover the house all summer. I added a honeysuckle, Lonicera ‘Graham Thomas’ to the pergola for a little shade and fragrance. It's grows at a moderate rate and is easy to care for. I only prune it when the little tendrils start climbing toward the roof of the house. The clematis varieties I chose can be cut back almost to the ground at the end of the season, so there isn’t much maintenance other than encouraging them to grow up the post of the pergola. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487177990-5IP3O470IQYSGZXNKVFY/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! The clematis are a little more rambunctious than I expected, and now I wish I had paid more attention to their mature height. To accommodate them requires getting on a ladder and training the vines over the windows. As you can see below, the window is gloriously hidden behind Clematis 'Jackmannii.' Pretty, but more work than I had in mind. As I work my way around the house, I'll be planting varieties that don't get any taller than 8-10 feet at the most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610487215652-NH71D96ACBXO3ACXEC8T/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Grow Up! https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/going-for-gold monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561400241-U0HA8N6975WASA7Z7Y64/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Going For Gold By trial and error, I discovered that Chamaecyparis psifera 'Filifer Aurea', commonly known as 'Lemon Threads' is more tolerant of less than perfect conditions. It never misses a beat in my zone 5 garden (hardy in zone 4-9) and it exudes drooping gold foliage year round. It's aptly named, because when the new growth appears in early summer, the needles truly look like long gold threads! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561488586-EJHZEFA266RP0E7EBD01/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Going For Gold https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561511867-FN868MZH91VNM0S7CKGD/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Going For Gold 'Lemon Threads' prefers well drained soil, but likes some degree of moisture, so I tucked it into the corner of our house where it receives runoff from the roof. It doesn't appear to be that finicky though, it thrives with infrequent watering in summer and though the site gets gusty winds off the lake, the foliage has not burned. It does need full sun though, when I first planted this conifer, I put it in partial shade and it promptly faded to a dull lime green. This small, slow growing shrub is perfect for a small garden or a foundation planting where you need a loose vertical shape that doesn't get too tall-the mature height is about 8 feet. And as you can see here, it combines nicely with other shrubs and perennials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561570095-2PQTVGUBD9PW3K47ZQ4W/5.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Going For Gold I appreciate its goldness most in winter though,where its often the only thing I can see rising out from the snowdrifts in my garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561607232-3J9IJBMPX4ZDFAE9751T/7.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Going For Gold https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/excellent-edgings monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610561934066-8RAH5OFDGLJTIX88SUFS/1+copy.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Excellent Edgings I’m always looking for plants that flower abundantly and have good foliage you can rely on later. Even better are those that don’t require deadheading or look ratty after flowering.Calamintha ‘White Cloud’ is one I’ve come to rely on, and I don’t know why more people don’t plant it. It’s tough as nails-hardy from zone 5-9, and doesn’t mind dry soil or beating down sun. It’s in the mint family but isn’t aggressive, in fact-it grows rather slowly. It’s just the right size - about 10” high with sprays of tiny white flowers with foliage that that gives off the aroma of peppermint as you touch or brush past it. It’s a tidy little beauty that adds fullness to the front of the border without taking over the show. Plus, it doesn’t need deadheading or cutting back to keep it looking good. It’s airy flowers lend a soft quality to the front of the garden that can stand alone or with other plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562051966-B1X5GSWVYV6WWNIQRG39/calaminth_2jpg.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Excellent Edgings You can use it to knit other plants together in the middle of a border. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562097359-KJPRV41WJBB7D1VUZQRW/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Excellent Edgings Or you can pair it up with foliage plants such as multihued heucheras and small grasses or this combination of purple sage and golden oregano I put together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562147158-CFLA6RFA9X3TEGLBKG10/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Excellent Edgings https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/big-blobs-of-green monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562764318-X4JVKHII6E0ADU4BEV5H/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Big Blobs of Green I thought I had done a pretty good job of coordinating the perennials and shrubs in this garden until I started spending more time in it. Around the end of August when most of the flowers were spent, the beds looked beyond boring, deteriorating into big fat masses of green foliage. Yes, there was a variety of texture, but it was all the same hue of green. How dull is that? I don’t know what I was thinking when I planted it. Some tweaking was definitely in order. I began making changes to the small bed below this fall. The border of Geranium ‘Biokovo’, which I had chosen for its cerise pink flowers,appealing foliage and tolerance of the dry shady conditions, was eating up most of the bed. Pretty when it was in bloom, but as you can see, it became more of a ground cover rather than a border plant. Way too much green foliage! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562807656-FDQWEU3K3QT080ZESLBW/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Big Blobs of Green I figured the shrubs and the gold Hosta 'Sum and Substance in the back of the bed could stay put. To get a little more color and movement happening, I replaced the Geranium with Carex 'Flacca', a short wiry gray grass, and paired it up with two heucheras I had never tried - Heuchera 'Black Taffeta' and Heuchera 'Sugar Plum'. Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' provided flowers to the mix that lasted well into November. The silvery purple leaves of 'Sugar Plum' nestled against the almost black foliage of 'Black Taffeta was pretty striking, and both have sturdy foliage that holds up well into late fall. Not bad for a quick garden fix! Three more beds to go..stay tuned to see what's next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562858263-GS2NZTLL2PJH7H4NZ433/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Big Blobs of Green https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610562881518-8I3R5A4LGS53S6G4OAVJ/4.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - Big Blobs of Green https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/the-red-grill-garden monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563177839-KKBDZV1NN6UOM449BH2T/1.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563309759-MKP07CL7APOK0VRU4TAG/2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563340256-VZQK98KM902Z990B3ZQ1/3.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden Here's another that won my heart. Agastache ‘Raspberry Nectar’ is a member of the mint family, only this one doesn’t spread all over the place. It has just about everything you could ask for - a long bloom period, aromatic foliage and few pest problems. Plus, it provides a place for the birds, bees and hummingbirds to congregate. It’s technically a perennial if you live in zone 6 or above, but I count it as an annual here in my zone 5 garden. It stands about 2 feet high and has rich red spires that contrast boldly against anything in the garden or an arrangement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563546225-9PWRLV495BJLS9LCYP3Q/red_grill_2.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563446694-25AMB6TIBQKBY936TBHE/6.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610563469728-F06HP9NVXE5X2NLAMJ8K/8.jpg Pollinators For Pleasure: 7 Perennials To Make Your Garden Buzz - The Red Grill Garden https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Design monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Bulbs monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Annuals+and+Perennials monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Shrubs monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Containers monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Structures monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/garden monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Maintenance monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/blog/category/Structure monthly 0.5 https://www.gwwyh.com/about daily 0.75 2021-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1600026571212-A3HJN6S8FD95G8POJ00Y/about-6-crop2.jpg About - I’m a passionate gardener.

Too Many Similar Shapes This planting looks like a bunch of exclamation points and do nothing to enhance the house. When choosing woody plants, a balance of varying shapes is more attractive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610584393014-CGLHZSSDCGBYZVO5VYTR/too+big+crop2.jpeg Consultation 6. Overgrown shrubs and trees This spruce has overgrown it’s space by a long shot. When shrubs or trees outgrow their space, they need to be removed or pruned appropriately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1601750384671-7PZESZQDUXFVFK9WUZJ5/home-9.jpg Consultation - Why Have a Consultation? As a landscape designer, my focus is on creating landscapes that respect the site and needs of every homeowner I work with. I can save you time, money and angst. Pick my brain. You’ll get recommendations based on over 30 years of hands-on experience with plants and design. I work independently – I don’t sell plants or represent nurseries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602201937670-KDP2VZ1LZL8J81AEODQM/consult+page+2.jpeg Consultation eronic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602125056993-1QVDCW73ZB0F7I0X7AWL/consult+page+1.jpeg Consultation - “We had an immediate connection with Christine and liked all of her suggestions. We immediately put them into action and wow, what a change!!! She helped us make our garden a place to enjoy even more. Her talents and advice are worth the time, and we certainly want her back to give us more advice.” Lee Kedzierski and John Dickerson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609700118660-8H6IIWH6RHEXRKD2KZ97/summer.jpg Consultation https://www.gwwyh.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1610667364053-2P94CIP23YKASHTTVF3H/home-9+crop+sm.jpg Contact https://www.gwwyh.com/gallery daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1601736726907-84Z0GS0LJQZL7T2D0F0P/chelminski+before.jpeg Gallery Before: This steep hillside was difficult to navigate and the bottom part of the property was inhospitable and unnattractive.. Building stone retaining walls and installing stairs was the first step toward improving it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602122786419-FY9FLAYLH2YCEVOTGJSE/fuller+before+1JPG.JPG Gallery Before: Tall, leggy trees, junky shrubs and weeds were the only things inhabiting this bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602621520310-IBKOELZ4OEFBTEXIPR6Q/pulver+walkway.JPG Gallery Before: Disjointed plantings of perennials and shrubs that were not doing well. Not enough structural plants and hard to maintain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602624563441-BT9YPMELPSXN2BML6BN7/resized+terziev+before.jpg Gallery Before: The goal was to create privacy, a more attractive view from the windows of the house and a garden to enjoy from the patio. The backyard was shady, with lots of root competition. All of the back windows faced the neighboring property - no privacy or anything pretty to look at. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1601736397289-B95XUXL6XUHZJF4CQMFF/chelminski+after.JPG Gallery After: The goal was to create plantings that would look attractive from the house and pool year round. To keep maintenance at a minimum, groupings of low maintenance perennials were massed together with a variety of structural shrubs and trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602122814178-L3DN4HKMCCDY3X64W082/fuller+before+2.JPG Gallery The goal was to connect this bed to the woodlands next to the house, and to create privacy from the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602621819440-8HCQA5FBQ0GW3WQ3JC0O/pulver+after.JPG Gallery After: A backbone of evergreens was added to create more structure. Groups of perennials and variety of flowering deciduous shrubs provided additional flowers without increasing maintenance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602624609925-1OFGLRR12COSWIWGLBHC/terziev+after+copy.jpg Gallery After: An evergreen hedge provides privacy and a backdrop for the trees, shrubs and perennials layered into the bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602122843831-KV95D9QZAL4TZL3TWFGA/fuller+after.JPG Gallery After: Fast growing deciduous shrubs were added to cover up the bottoms of the leggy trees. Masses of evergreen and deciduous shrubs we're used to increase textural interest and color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602621878051-1QG9H79THUY4E4M4B4F1/pulver+after+1.JPG Gallery After: A more beautiful and interesting front entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602624638294-KN1WS1EKZTOIVVAVL6OB/terziev+resized+after.jpg Gallery After: An improved view from the window and a garden that can be enjoyed from the back patio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1601736447726-KTAKF66LCX8GJD99ZC6V/chelminski+after+1.JPG Gallery After: Behind the pool, we needed plantings that could be enjoyed from above and below. For maximum impact we planted masses of ornamental grasses with cutleaf sumac 'Tiger Eyes' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602122894704-RDOVE9BNWXIPW8MXS42D/fuller+front+walk.JPG Gallery The new bed acts as a buffer from the road, but also enhances the house and front walkway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1602609474727-SJT1SK6OUIHS5VQYQS9K/fuller-layers.jpg Gallery Masses of attractive, easy care perennials were layered into the plantings to reduce maintenance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53ead5ecbaec0dc19ffcd7/1609119741859-AVKE3KZWQVV12X9BN8N6/gallery.jpeg Gallery
