A few months back I did a really extensive post about My Big Perennial Bed with a listing and description of pretty much every plant in the bed. Now I’d like to show off the plants in the bed month by month as they bloom or just look really nice.

do you ship plants in the mail?
Mike says
Gale,

I have a bed of phlox, however, weeds are growing up between them and are difficult to remove. Should I cut them all down now in the Fall. Please advise.
Thanks,
Mike B Voluntown CT.
Mike says
Mike,
Everything in my perennial bed will get cut down soon and the weeds pulled, pre emergent applied and raked in.
Patti Chakirelis says
Are there any perennials that are low to the ground (for a border) that bloom all summer long?
Mike says
Patti,
Not that I can think of. Most perennials do not bloom the entire summer.

Beautiful color ! Just what early spring needs ( I know my garden lacks) . Do you just shear to ground level in fall/winter ?
Mike says
Melanie,
Yes, most get cut off at the ground in the fall.
