The rear bed, however, is another story – and a lesson learned from my roving band of deer……….
They’re blooming a little later and are shorter than the others but look ma! No stakes! I did a little research in my maintenance “bible” and, sure enough, you can cut back echincea in early spring. The plants will be shorter and bloom a little later, but no more staking? I immediately made note of this for next season.
What’s on your garden “to do” list this month? Any maintenance tricks or tips you’d like to share? Please do so here!
Your garden looks stunning! Some of these plants are great in treating some illnesses so…keep up the good work!
Jealous of your garden! All of your flowers are gorgeous but I love the most is your hydrangeas! It is so perfect in those green plants!
Thank you – I love them too and this year they really took off! I always tell clients it takes 3 years for a perennial bed to really come into its own – and I think I was right as this is year 3 for mine!
Lavender should be pruned in early spring – just when you see new growth!
