Too Lazy to Garden? Plant These 11 Perennials in August (Come Back Forever)

🔗 Get a beautiful perennial garden with less watering, fewer costly mistake from Henry’s Garden Blueprint: https://henrysgardensecrets.com/ Your beds look finished for the year. They are not. August is the front end ofthe best planting window you get - the soil is still warm, the air is cooling and roots move faster now than they will next April. These are the 11 perennials I would put in the ground this month and then leave alone. Not one of them needs staking, spraying, or replacing. A few of them will still be there long after you have stopped gardening. And number one is the only plant on the list where August is not simply acceptable - it is better than spring. Miss it and you wait a full year. I also correct something I was wrong about for years. Number seven is a story I repeated with confidence until I actually read the trial data. I tell you what the trials found instead. Thirty-five years of notebooks. Thirty-four of them behind a garden center counter, writing down what people bought and what they came back to complain about. TELL ME WHERE YOU GARDEN Drop a comment with the number you are planting this month and your US state next to it. I read every one. This list splits hard by region, and the pattern in the comments tells me which plant deserves its own video next. SUBSCRIBE! One video a week. Mostly this: what actually earns its space in an American backyard and what only looks good on a rack in April.
