10 Perennials to Rival Annuals

10 Perennials to Rival Annuals - Blooms All Summer

Рет қаралды 242,144

Күн бұрын

Does it have to be a trade-off between lifespan and seasonal color? I admit, when it comes to a peony or Siberian iris, annuals are far more colorful and floriferous over the length of the season. But many perennials come out swinging with early blooms in the cool season, and others naturally bloom all summer, repeat if deadheaded, or round out the seasonal color with foliage & form.
In this video, I'll breeze through 10 perennials that I think take top marks for long-lasting color interest in the garden. If you have any recommendations of your own (I for sure know this selection isn't exhaustive) feel free to drop them in the comments for other viewers.

I also wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your recommendation 4 parts milk 6 parts water solution saved about 10 of my tomato plants! And I grew them from seed. I lost another 10 or so to fungus before I tried your solution due to my inability to read what’s on the package in front of me lol🤦‍♀️ I changed the soil and removed all the soil, soaked tomato plant roots in that solution, planted in new better soil mix and now my tomatoes are healthy and thriving and are growing like crazy. Also your powder chitosan plus baking soda (the potassium one) for fungus is fantastic and has helped with my roses already. If you ever are able to sell your roses to the US I will be the first one to buy them:-) THANK YOU!

Let me also mention geraniums and vinca major, these are probably suited better for warmer climates but they're amazing. They both bloom all season long, here in Greece they both bloom from early spring till mid fall, they are completely disease and pest resistant, they can get as big as you want them to, they bloom heavily all year, and also geraniums are drought tolerant

@jlp4111 Жыл бұрын

I’m a big fan of hardy geraniums but not vinca major. In my 7a Utah garden, one plant jumped from a potted plant on the deck and into the front yard, where it smothered everything in its shady path. I tried weed whacking it and used a broadleaf killer, but it has superior genes and outwitted me. Digging it out has been my exercise for 2 yrs now. Love the blue flowers in spring, hate the spreading and suffocating vines.

@gwbuilder5779 Жыл бұрын

One of the primary reasons to have perennials is they are an anchor feature type of plant much like roses, shrubs, and trees. They provide long reaching features that allow you accent with the annuals of your choice for added variety and yet maintain a certain amount of familiar feel to any space. I'm quite impressed by the amount of new variations which clearly brings them much more into the mix with annuals. The coconut daisy is one that I just might have to look into as a pollinators attractor. Surprisingly, the Lavender Angel Face rose (my newest addition) is the first to bud and flower. It is more pink than purple in the color spectrum, but definitely the most aromatic "Rose" scent of all my roses including Don Juan and Mr. Lincoln.

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Those lavender and mauve roses are so variable. You're right - very often they skew to pink, but sometimes more towards brown (like Distant Drums) or just grey. Lovely, and often well-scented, but not always predictable.

There are two types of nepeta that used to be widely available but are now harder to find. I had tons of 'Dawn to Dusk" which is pink. I used to grow it with Rose Morden Blush. The other fantastic one is 'Snowflake' a short cultivar that attracts tons of bees and is a dynamite ground cover. It surrounds other plants without disturbing them, which is very unusual. So no weeds invade the plants. It's more readily available.

I was never that impressed by agastaches; bit boring nondescript blues. But bought some agastache blackadder a couple of years ago and it has real impact. Beautiful colour that blends well with everything.

What are the temperatures these perennials con tolerate, and frost? Thanks

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

I listed a hardiness zone for each plant and that corresponds to the USDA zones for minimum temps.

Why only one zone? Can you next time put up from Zones 3-9 or? It would be very helpful. Thank you!

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

Hi Kathy. These are cold hardiness zones - the lowest named zone is the coldest, and any milder climate won't be a threat to winter survival.

Which ones are disliked by deer?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

They say that deer don't love minty plants (like the catmint or agastache) but other gardeners remind me that deer will eat most anything depending on whether or not they can find something they prefer.

What about perennial peonies?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

Great plant, but usually a pretty limited bloom period.

Nothing for zone 7?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

Just about everything for zone 7. If it's hardy to a lower zone it'll survive a milder winter - so all the ones listed for 7 and below are for you.

Why has there never been a blue coloured rose?

@FraserValleyRoseFarm Жыл бұрын

The pigment is naturally absent in the genetics of roses. They can get close (with lavender and mauve) but no true blue without genetic modification.

I only have bee balm. It gets quite mildewy, Not as happy with it as I thought I would from much praise of it from KZfaqrs

Thanks. Powdery mildew is definitely one of its vulnerabilities. That can be varietal - 'Jacob Cline' is an older variety that shows some resistance, and they're still trying to manage it by breeding resistance into new cultivars. I also have enjoyed M. punctata which is a bit wilder looking, but gorgeous mauve and spotted flowers - not too much in the way of mildew.
