The dimensions of this long full sun flower bed are 55 feet x 8 feet (16.8 meters x 3.4 meters). Fall is here and it’s a great time to be cleaning up flower beds, cutting back perennials, saving flower seeds, and adding yard waste to my compost pile! It’s also a great time to make plans for next year by moving perennials around. I also do a mini garden tour of my long narrow border garden bed that is located on the South side of my house. Plants discussed in this video include peonies, great blue lobelia, liatris / gayfeather, daffodils, echinacea / coneflower, clematis, roses, wax begonias, vinca, fringed bleeding heart, hydrangea, rudbeckia / black-eyed susan, lungwort / pulmonaria, stella d’oro daylily, ox-eye shasta daisy and bee balm. I also give a mini September garden tour of this area.

Nice video. I need to get to work tidying up some of my beds.
In one of your recent videos, you showed a Joe Pye Weed. It wasn't very tall. Is it a Little Joe or don't they grow tall in your area? Can they be propagated or divided? I would like to try some but they grow too tall here in central PA.
I think September has become my favorite month for gardening. Weather is still nice, it’s cooler for working, it’s prime planting, transplanting, & dividing time, and PLANT SALES!
I like to prune/clean up most everything in the fall. I agree with doing it when it works for you. Everyone’s life is so different. Thanks for the encouragement with all that you do. 😊
I have a ton of perennials that I want to relocate but the mosquitoes are so bad I get eaten alive. How late can perennials be moved without them dying?
Good point about watching out for bees this time of year. The bumbles especially are sleeping many times on flowers and wasp are lazy and some are highly active.
My favorite new flower is Gomphrena!🎉it’s a joy to take care of and loves heat and doesn’t stress in dry conditions. Color all summer to fall and still looking great! Hope there is seed 😊.
I’m not a fan of the hostas that were here as they are difficult to remove, one piece of root and it takes off. The brown eyed Susan’s are everywhere and they tend to mildew. Love Shasta Daisy but short bloom. I did get a shorter one recently. Perennials sleep, creep and leap and we will see next year what is really going on. I had to pull the poppies as they were too aggressive and now the bee balm stepped up their game😂.
Great video. Thx’
Do you cut back your perennials when you heel them in your backyard nursery or do you let them stay up? Thanks
