The end of summer marks a perfect time to invest in your garden with a few starts of perennial color. Planting these young plants now will allow them to establish over winter and bloom gloriously next spring. This is a very satisfying way to garden. These plants are small, young, easy to plant and grow, and for a small investment, you can enjoy a wealth of rewards next year.
Perennials continue to bloom beyond a couple years and more. These include Coral Bells, various daisies, Delphinium and Verbena. Candytuft, Lupine, and Armeria. Planting in the fall is gentle on plants and allows them to establish more easily.
See our 6-pack and 4″ perennial collection.

Start them out well with E. B. Stone Sure Start Organic Fertilizer with Mycorrhizae (a beneficial fungus).
