Re: Late Autumn Perennials
Hello Louise,
Been a hard year on the garden with a prolonged drought this summer and two
early hard freezes last week, but there are a few things left in bloom in the
garden.
Aconitums are a favorite for fall and early winter. A. arendsii and a
pass-along from a friend are out there in full bloom now. Cyclamen purpursence is
just finishing up after coming into bloom back in May, while C. hed. is coming
into full bloom. The native Gentian saponaria is in full bloom along with the tiny
G. scabra. Corydalis ochroleuca remains in full bloom. Delphinium exhaltatum was
cut back and is now into its third bloom cycle for the season.
