Perennials that look great in the garden at this time of the year
Manage episode 463553909 series 3495970
Today’s focus is perennial plants - which ones can you rely on to thrive in the summer heat?
What is a Perennial? Generally have a life span of 5-7 years. Once the flowers die off, the plant produces new growth at the base. Perennials are a fantastic choice with long flowering seasons (up to 9 months). Perennials can’t be beaten for colour, texture and variety.
Before selecting perennials, be sure to check your ‘heat and cold zones’ for best performance.
Aim to prune before at the end of March before the Autumn Equinox to extend the flowering season. Dead-heading your perennials and regular feeding with products like Charlie Carp will help them to thrive.
Common pests - bugs like leaf hoppers can be treated with ECO Neem and Eco Oil (avoid spraying in full sun).
