EESC Home Gardening Information Northwest Gardeners E-News Peonies add long-lived grace to perennial gardens CORVALLIS - Peonies celebrate the beginning of summer with exquisite silky blossoms and striking foliage. Once established, these beauties are easy to care for, relatively pest-free, and incredibly long-lived. Because peonies can live for 50 years or more, it is wise to give them a good start. Joyce Schillen, Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardener, offers some hints on establishing and caring for peonies. First, choose a site with full sun. In a hot summer climate, such as in southern or eastern Oregon, late afternoon shade is an advantage. Provide shelter from strong winds that may knock over the top-heavy blossoms. Plant peonies in deep, rich, well-drained soil with generous amounts of organic matter added. Space plants two to three feet apart in masses, or three to four feet apart when used as specimen plants. After flowering, scratch in a complete, slow-release fertilizer and be careful not to disturb the roots. Water peonies adequately during dry spells, giving them at least one inch of water every week. Peonies form rounded clumps two to three feet tall. Peony blossoms may be single, semi-double, or double, and come in a range of colors from white to pink to deep, dark red. The foliage dies back to the ground in winter and emerges again in early spring looking like red asparagus.

107. Tips On Summer Care Of Perennial Gardens Tips on Summer Care of perennial Gardens Some perennials are planted in our gardens specifically for fall color, like Chrysanthemums and Asters. http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/frederick/2003/perennial_gardens.htm

Tips on Summer Care of Perennial Gardens Phyllis Heuerman Frederick County Master Gardener Program Although many people are not aware of this, one of the best things you can do to keep your perennial garden looking well groomed all summer is to prune the plants regularly. This has been especially important this year when many plants grew up to twice their normal size due to all of the rain we had this spring. Pruning can mean anything from deadheading, which is removing the spent flower heads, to cutting plants all the way down to the ground. Pruning can do many things including, extending the bloom period or promoting rebloom, encouraging lush new growth, reducing plant height, keeping plants in their own space and staggering plant heights and bloom times. Many perennials, like geraniums (not the annual Pelargonium that we call geraniums), and Thread-leaf Coreopsis have fine foliage and small flowers. Rather than removing individual flowers, these plants can be deadheaded by shearing off the tops after the first bloom. You can actually remove the foliage of these plants to within 4 to 6 inches of the ground if you want to. This shearing helps keep the plants in their place and promotes rebloom.

Related Resources: University of Minnesota Extension Service - Gardenin Perennial Garden Design Listen to the article When you plan your perennial garden, think of your garden area as a well-prepared canvas on which you are going to paint a picture rich in color, texture and variety, one that will last, and come back year after year. You need to ask yourself what the purpose of the garden is; does it have a specific function other than being decorative? Can you tie it into existing features of your home and lawn such as paths, a pond, hedges or walls? Is it to be a border viewed from one side, or an island that is to be viewed from several directions? Is it to be formal in design and content, or a more informal mixed border or "cottage" garden? Will it be mostly in the sun or in the shade? These decisions will shape your selection of plants and their arrangement, as well. Colors and textures should be coordinated to create interest and continuity. Interspersing small shrubs and trees among the perennials as focal points in the garden can achieve variety. Try using blooming vines such as clematis, on a trellis or other structure to give a vertical dimension to your plantings. Planting three or more plants of one variety or color together rather than singly will heighten the effects you achieve. It is easy to get carried away and plant a larger area than you can comfortably tend. For maximum enjoyment, your perennial plantings should be easily cared for. You can ensure this by planning a garden consistent in size and demands with the amount of time you have to devote to gardening, and one that is easily accessible for maintenance. If you do this successfully, your perennial garden will be a long-lasting source of pride and happiness rather than dreaded drudgery.

109. Putting The Perennial Garden To Bed Putting the perennial Garden to Bed. sound clip Listen to the article. An important factor for ensuring success in growing perennials http://outreach.missouri.edu/extensioninfoline/lawn&garden/putting_perennial_gar

Related Resources: University of Minnesota Extension Service - Gardenin Putting the Perennial Garden to Bed Listen to the article An important factor for ensuring success in growing perennials is preparing them for their winter dormancy. Unlike annuals, only the top growth of the plant dies back each year. The root growth underground remains alive, and continues to develop for the next growing season. Therefore, it is vital that perennial plants have protection while they rest. For the sake of tidiness, and to remove debris that may harbor insects or disease, most top growth is removed after it withers and turns brown. It has completed its work of nourishing the root system and fulfilling its propagation-related tasks of flowering and fruiting, or producing seed, for another year. It is a good idea to apply a protective layer of mulch over the plant to maintain even soil temperature and avoid having the plant heave out of the ground because of wide soil temperature fluctuation. Use mulch that will permit the passage of air and moisture to and from the root system. To avoid damage by cultivation or accidental over planting, mark the location of the dormant plant with a stake or other marker that will not be easily uprooted or lost. If you have prepared the garden soil properly with compost, the nutrients and moisture in the soil should sustain the plant during its dormancy. Fertilizing at this time is not recommended. An exception might be made in the case of clematis or other heavy-feeding vines. These may benefit from top dressing or mulching with well-composted cow manure around the plants to provide gradual feeding as well as protection.

The Bulb Lady's Gardening Tip of the Day: You can extend the bloom season on many perennials by cutting them back before they bloom. For instance, if you cut your asters back by half around July 4, they will bloom later, and be more compact. So you could only cut the front half back - the back will start flowering and still be going when fresh blooms from the front get going.

113. ET 08/00: LetÕs Keep That Perennial Garden Spring Fresh All Season Let s keep that perennial garden spring fresh all season. by Don Trotter. http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0800/et0800s20.html

Let's keep that perennial garden spring fresh all season by Don Trotter ello fellow Earthlings, and welcome to the perennial border. This time, our discussion will focus on keeping your precious perennial gardens blooming and growing well into the summer. Perennials are known for their amazing shows of spring and summer color year after year. They are also sometimes known for getting a little finicky and unpredictable when the weather gets really warm. Heat stress is a major cause of plant stress and loss during the summer months. It is the intent of this column to give you a few hints that will keep your perennials actively growing all summer long, even under the hottest sun. 1 part soft rock phosphate or 2 parts bone meal 1 part Sul-Po-Mag (Sulfate of Potash Magnesia) 2 parts cottonseed meal 1 part hoof and horn meal or feather meal 1 part fish meal or shrimp/ crab shell meal Apply this mixture to your perennial bed at a rate of 5 to 7 pounds per 100 square feet of garden space. This plant food will last in your garden for a minimum of six months. For those of you with nematode troubles, try to locate the shrimp/ crab shell meal. The bacteria that digest the material that the shells are made of (chitin) will also suppress harmful nematode populations in your soil. Remember to never feed a dry garden, and it is always a good idea to water the garden after you apply any fertilizers. After applying this mixture, you can add your compost and be comforted in knowing that your plants will be receiving a balanced diet for the entire growing season.

Return to the Gardening in Shade Forum Post a Follow-Up Buying a Shade Perennial Garden Posted by Cheryl z9 CA-Northern ( My Page ) on Sat, Mar 13, 04 at 4:17 Hello everyone! I'm a newbie, and I found a "Foundation Shade Perennial Collection" garden on an online nursery. There are 20 plants in the collection. It seems like an economical way of starting a garden. Ostrich Plume Fern, Astilbe, Hostas, Cyclamen, and Blue Panda Corydalis are the different types. Here is the link for reference: Foundation Shade Perennial Collection Would these work for my zone (9) and for a serious beginner? Last year, I did a little experiment. I planted one lone impatiens plant just to see what would happen. It looked really pretty, bloomed, and eventually disappeared. I found out it was an annual, so it would do that. Anyway, it's a huge step from a tiny success with one plant to an entire garden. The space I have is in the front of my house, about 15' x 6'. It gets about 2 or 3 hours of afternoon sun. Also, on the site, I saw these interesting plants: Poker Primrose. I was thinking of adding it to the foundation garden. Would it work? Your expertise would be very helpful in giving my front yard some much needed curb appeal.

About This Service List Of Topics Visit Gardens E-Mail Comments 3421 - Continuous Bloom in a Perennial Garden To create a colorful display of perennials from April until September is a challenging undertaking in the St. Louis area. Here are some plants to try. The majority are disease and pest free, have long flowering periods, and are reliable. All require a location in full sun. For early spring bloom try basket-of-gold, rockcress, moss phlox and candytuft. All are low growing and make attractive border or rock garden plants. For April to June flowering, plant common aubrieta or the cushion or myrtle euphorbia. The euphorbias give a charming display of showy yellow bracts. From May onwards Italian bugloss displays its striking gentian-blue flowers on rather coarse foliage. It is a short-lived perennial but propagates itself by self-sown seedlings. Good choices for late spring are blue wild indigo, Scotch pink, cranes-bill and perennial flax. For early May to mid-June don't forget the magnificent bearded irises and Chinese peonies.Bellflowers, gasplant, coreopsis, Siberian iris and daylilies are excellent for early summer. For mid-June to August the Ozark sundrop and ballonflower are striking, both in color and form. Some tough, hardy perennials for the heat of July are the threadleaf coreopsis, purple coneflower, globe thistle, obedient plant and rudbeckia. All will flower well into the fall.

This is the title of one of my more popular lectures about pruning perennials and preparing planting beds. When I was pre-paring this talk for a mixed audience of both professionals and homeowners I asked my husband to listen to it and give me his opinion, representing the very novice gardener. In his usual, patient way he waited until I was completely finished with the one-hour discussion, and then said, "You better tell them what a deadhead is." Fortunately no one left the room during my first talk when they found out that I was discussing the removal of old or advertisement spent dead flowers and not old or spent rock 'n' rollers (although the latter does sound somewhat more intriguing). I have been called the "deadhead queen" by various colleagues because of my work with pruning-I'm not sure if there is any deeper meaning to this. . . .
