📕 Get a beautiful perennial garden with less watering, fewer costly mistake from Henry’s Garden Blueprint: https://henrysgardensecrets.com/ Every October, careful gardeners make the same call: leave it all standing. For some plants, that's exactly right. For these eight, it's how next year's problem gets through the winter. Spores on the leaves. Beetles in hollow stems. Wet foliage lying on a crown that was never built to sit under it. None of it shows now. You find out in April. ⚠️ ZONES October 15th is built for zones 4-6. Zone 7 and warmer, you've got longer. Several of these are timed to your first frost anyway, and I'll tell you which as we go. 💬 COMMENT: Which of these eight have you been leaving up every fall?
