Saying goodbye to my 2024 gardens with my last blooms Sheffeild pink mums

These start off salmon colored and fade to what is shown pale almost white pink Loaded with bees and even a lone bright red orange Monarch today Glad I have something that feeds the last group of insects

Hermosa planta

I am usually ready for winter and rarely feel sad at the end of the season but the drought and deer have been really tough on me and I’m almost ready to give up

Yes they are perennial Zone 6b

Beautiful Here are some tips for beginners as I’m finally getting some nice clumps They emerge late so be sure to mark where they are planted so next spring you don’t accidentally pull them out Since they emerge late you probably won’t find them in the nursery until mid summer or later These are a great example of why it’s good to shop at the nursery all season long The big box stores even count on it and get big shipments in August I always find good stuff then In my case they are also the favorite for bunnies so I need to spray them a couple of times with deterrent though this year I forgot and ended up with the Chelsea chop without my help
