Enjoy Your Garden Fall Into Winter

Enjoy Your Garden Fall Into Winter

September 21, 2016 | C.L. Fornari | , ,

In late September our gardens can begin to look tired…or they can be a celebration of the glorious Cape Cod fall season. The difference between the two is a matter of some cleanup, creativity, and selective planting. Here are some photos that illustrate what I mean.

If you find that there aren’t enough flowers blooming in your September and October gardens, add some now. Fall is a good time to plant perennials and Hyannis Country Garden always has a good supply of autumn flowers.
At this time of year look at your landscape and see where you could use perennials that flower every fall. Perennial asters (on right) or the native Vernonia (on left) bring the lovely fall purples that compliment orange and yellow foliage.

It’s smart to plant ornamental kale and cabbages in perennial beds around plants such as peonies. You’ll enjoy the white, purple or pink colors in these plants well into December and often through the winter. Colors in ornamental cabbages and kales intensify as the temperatures fall.
You can even gather the taller grasses up in early December and decorate the clump for the holidays.
