According to Sean, ornamental cabbages and kales give you the most bang for your buck. These long-lasting plants are âas good as it can get.â
The fall season presents a window of opportunity for gardeners⊠In fact, according to Sean, our horticulture guru here at The Gardenerâs Center, the fall season is, in almost every way, better for planting than the spring. That includes planting trees, shrubs, perennials and grass seed.
A popular question around here is when do I prune my hydrangeas? How do I prune my hydrangeas? And what makes them different? Well, the short answer is: It depends. Sean, the horticulture expert at The Gardenerâs Center, says it requires a little bit of detective work.
Also knows as Hummingbird Mint and Hyssop, Agastache are probably the longest blooming perennial you can have in a temperate-climate perennial garden. For this, and many other reasons, Sean professes Agastache is his all-time favorite perennial!
Hydrangea arborescens, or smooth hydrangeas, are native to the eastern U.S. and are much easier to grow & take care of than non-native varieties. Learn why you’re going to fall in love with Pinky Pollen Ring Hydrangea and Annabelle Hydrangea.
Theyâre beguiling. Theyâre bewitching. Theyâre begonias and theyâre Seanâs favorite annual. Sean, our horticulture guru here at The Gardener’s Center, points out some key reasons why they make great additions to gardens and containers, no matter your light conditions. Watch the video and see if they’re not going to be your fave, too!
You want to enjoy beautiful plants in your pots, hanging baskets and window boxes. But itâs not as simple as getting a container, putting soil in it, putting plants in it â not if you want them to remain healthy and as beautiful as they can be.
You’re going to love peonies! First, they are easy to grow. Second, youâll be enjoying them for a long time… They can live in your garden for a hundred years!
Seanâs observation is that people have a tendency to NOT touch these in the fall, right when they should. Sean says NOW is the time to prune them. Why? Unlike the mopheads, the Paniculatas only flower on new growth. So the more you prune them back, the more growth youâre going to stimulate.
Three late-blooming native perennials weâre focusing on here are members of the asteraceaeâor asterâfamily. These are all native to a good part of North America, east of the Mississippi River, from Maine down to the Gulf Coast. They’re also faves of all of here at The Gardener’s Center.
