Transform your garden into a vibrant tapestry with late-flowering perennials. Imagine your borders and pots brimming with hot, bold colours flourishing well into the autumn months. These hardy plants, such as Kniphofia, Symphottrichum, and Heleniums, offer a dazzling display when many other flowers have faded. By selecting varieties known for their resilience and extended blooming periods, you create a garden which maintains charm and vitality. They are also loved by pollinators, making an excellent late source of nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and others. Plant in well-draining soil and ensure adequate sunlight to nurture robust growth. Mulch generously to retain moisture and protect roots. With minimal effort, you will enjoy a garden bursting with life and colour, delighting your senses long after summer ends. Embrace the season’s change with the enduring beauty of late-flowering perennials. All varieties are hardy perennials, so will not require winter protection throughout most of the UK.
