Garden designer: You should grow these perennials



I met up with the supremely talented garden designer Austin Eischeid at Northwind Perennial Farm in Burlington, Wisconsin, and asked him to share some of his favorite perennials that more people should know about.

Northwind Perennial Farm, co-owned by Roy Diblik (Austin’s mentor) does not ship plants but they sell a wide variety of hard-to-find plants to customers from around the Midwest. Find out more here: https://www.northwindperennialfarm.com

    Good morning gorgeous Erin! Thank you for all your help and great advice. Question: do you separate your corms when growing jumpstarts? ie listris, etc. I grew 3 corms per 1 g nursery pots.
    Thank you!!

    I've been on the lookout for shredded umbrella plants for a while…they are one of those plants that you just want to reach out and touch. I love that Austin not only recommended some great plants but also gave suggestions on how to use them in the garden. My list just got longer 🙃

    That Deschampsia "Gold Tau' Tufted hair grass would look great planted in a large head planter! I love the spikey look it would add to one of those. I enjoyed listening to Austin talk about his favorite perennials. Thank you, Erin, for doing this interview with him. Have a fun Memorial weekend! ~Margie🤗💐

    Thank you so much! My favorite designer with my favorite Gardner how perfect can that get! I have been trying to copy his designs in my yard for a year or so. Nice to see him talk about some of his favorite plants I never heard of and will be adding soon.

    Great job Erin…snagging a garden designer 👩🏽‍🎨 🤩 I wrote these on my wish list. I also just received a clematis I forgot I ordered 😍 Happy gardening 🤗🌱

    Wonderful video, great to hear about dry shade plants. Umbrella Plant and Autumn Bride have been on my list for a couple of years, always on the lookout for them!

    What a great presentation. There are NO nurseries within 50 miles at least near our home, that offer anything but the already blooming( forced in a greenhouse) perennials pushed by the big name companies. Wish I could find a nursery like Roy’s.

  15. P. H. C.

    Definitely need some of those for my dry part shade area. A trip to Northwind is in order!

  16. Candace McGuire

    I love to hear new page recommendations! Thanks. I feel sorry for folks who can't grow heuchera. Mine are evergreen (Vancouver BC Canada) and flourish and spread!

    Watching this video prompts me to make this observation, somewhat unique on YouTube: you never promote yourself, you promote the people and things around you.

  20. Julia Fiore

    What a great list of unique plants 🌱. That shredded umbrella plant is now on my list! Thanks, Erin😊

  22. Didi Sinclair

    One of my favorite things: watching your videos, and writing down the great plants you show us, for the future! Thanks, Erin.

  27. S Mc

    Great interview. I live about 15 minutes from Northwind and I think I need to go buy some of those Shredded Umbrella plants.

  32. Leigh Seymour

    Wow Erin! Thanks so much for that. It was so informative. Going to watch it multiple times to make sure I soak it all in. Will be following Austin.

  38. Lisa

    It's probably the only place I can find the Alchemia 'Hella'. Maybe I'll make that trip.

  39. Zoreslava Zinczenko

    AWESOME new varieties for me to try that I've never heard of! THANK you Erin and Austin for this informative video! Will DEFinately check out Austin's designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Juliana Cools

    Thank you Erin, new varieties to for shade, what fun. I definitely will be on the lookout for some of these. Thank you Austin for your generosity in introducing us to these new varieties.

  45. KMags Love

    Well this totally explains why my Carnival Watermelon Huchera is the only one that keeps coming back robustly. Thanks for the info!!
