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.

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,
Everything in my perennial bed will get cut down soon and the weeds pulled, pre emergent applied and raked in.
Are there any perennials that are low to the ground (for a border) that bloom all summer long?
Patti,
Not that I can think of. Most perennials do not bloom the entire summer.
Hi Mike.
Im an amatuer gardener getting interested in plant cuttings. I live in northern arizona. I have corn, chickbeans, melon, lentils seeding now alongside native grasses and milkweed. Purchased your book a few weeks back. I had a question about my orders status and cant find a confirmation how can i contact best?
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
I sent your question to Duston, he should contact you today about that order. You can contact him at [email protected] or [email protected]
Beautiful color ! Just what early spring needs ( I know my garden lacks) . Do you just shear to ground level in fall/winter ?
Melanie,
Yes, most get cut off at the ground in the fall.
