🔗 Get a beautiful perennial garden with less watering, fewer costly mistake from Henry’s Garden Blueprint: https://henrysgardensecrets.com/ The perennial you'll pay full price for next May is sitting on a discount bench right now for about half that. And planted this month, it'll be the bigger plant next June. Most people walk straight past it, because September feels like the wrong end of the year to be buying plants.

The ground is still warm and the air isn't, so everything a plant does between now and Christmas goes into roots instead of leaves. ⚠️ Also in here: why cheddar pinks planted in May usually die by August, and it isn't the cold. The plant where being early is as bad as being late - its window is open now and closes on its own in a few weeks. Why buying a foxglove in spring costs you a year of flowers. And the one job everybody does at the wrong time: winter mulch. 💬 COMMENT: Go and look at your local garden center's discount bench this week and tell me what's actually on it.
