[Music] We just had a hard frost last weekend and while the soil isn’t frozen, the annuals sure got zapped. So, I’ve cleaned up this area in my garden and I have a few perennial seeds that I’m going to put in the ground. The reason I’m planting them now is not because I expect them to germinate and grow, but because they need stratification and winter’s uh cold temperatures and wind and snow are going to help uh help the help the seeds germinate a lot better in spring than they would if I planted them in spring. Not every perennial wants to be planted in fall. Some of them prefer warm temperatures, but I’m going to tell you about five perennials that you can plant this fall and then they’ll look great next spring. The first one I have is delphinium. Delphiniums are a beautiful flower that will um do a lot better if you plant them in the fall. And the one I have is called butterfly blend. It has a looser uh flower stem than uh some of those classic delphiniums that you’ll find, but any kind of delinium planted in fall, you’ll have a better germination rate. And then I’ve been trying to plant more for the pollinators. So I’ve got some anis hissup uh which will have lots of um sort of pinky purple spikes of flowers in the um in in this in the summer. And uh it’s great for my Midwest garden. It’ll it doesn’t mind the humidity so much as some of the others. Uh also coline in spring is great for the hummingbirds. So, I’ve got the McKenna Giants blend, and that can go along with my uh wild coline and feed the hummingbirds. Cone flowers, great for another native plant that uh will the butterflies like in the summer and then you let the seed heads go for the um fall and winter and the goldfinches come in. And then the last one is rattlesnake match master, which is related to sea holly. has these cool little uh clusters of um ball-shaped flowers and insects love them. So, these are just about five of the of of the perennials you can plant from seed that you can find a lot more on in our web story at gardengate magazine.com.
