Autumn Blooming Native Perennials

Pollinators need sustenance, i.e. pollen and nectar all season long. Within you will find a diverse selection of plants that offer support to pollinators well into fall. It always seems the growing season is short in comparison to the barren, long, gray days of winter. We want our colorful flowers to last as long as possible before surrendering our gardens to the first frost. Native perennials provide an array of flowers that bloom late into the growing season and support pollinators.

What goes on in the soil during winter

Winter has arrived, which once again brings to mind how as a young boy I’d be looking out the kitchen window at the now barren landscape wondering what goes on in the soil over the winter? Eventually I’d end up outside with a shovel, but all I ever got was a sore foot from trying to drive the shovel deeper to see what I could find.
