Fall planting pays off! With fallen leaves as extra instillation over the winter, these perennials were ready to grow after temperatures began getting warmer. They are looking lush, healthy, and ready for summer! Coral Bells, and Ferns are reliable perennials you can always count on for a striking display of vibrant color, taking all shade gardens to the next level.
wait don’t rake all of your leaves yet did you see those Coral Bells in the corner there that’s what we covered with leaves last winter and since then they have nearly doubled in size let me show you they have nice upright blooms that almost look like confetti on top of this vibrant foliage and the brilliant Autumn Fern we planted with them has taken on that beautiful coppery Hue with its new growth right here you can see everything overwintered so nicely so this is your sign not to skip out on Fall planting

Yes, to mulching with leaves. Locks in the moisture for winter!! Beautiful display!!
Awh man, my mom would love this.
So pretty! I know its a bummer to do, but get out there and cut those pink flowering shoots off. When a plant goes to flower that plant is like, "Okay, I'm done." If you cut the flower off, the plant continues to grow in size while it works to create new flowers. Coral bells are known for their leaves, the flowers are pretty 'meh'. Sacrifice the flower. Gain big leaves. 😊
