Perennial Hibiscus: Bridging the Gap Between Summer and Fall

August 27, 2020 By Heather Blackmore 2 Comments

Hi there!

I'm Heather and I love to grow stuff. LOTS of stuff. Most importantly, a healthy family. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a passion for playing in the dirt. Read More…

Shhh. Don’t say the “F” word around these hibiscus. They’re still covered in buds and that just might scare the hell outta them! Candy Crush hibiscus and Purple Pillar rose of Sharon, both from @provenwinners are hanging on to the very end and the end is quite near. Ugh. #fallfallfall #stillblooming #fallgardens #hibiscusflowers @waltersgardens @provenwinnersdirect @pwcolorchoice #floweringshrubs #bigblooms #zone5bgardening #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

🎬NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO🎬 If your daylilies didn’t flower as well as in years past, that’s your cue to divide them and early fall is a great time to do it. Not only does it reinvigorate your plants, dividing them gives you more to play with or share with friends! Check out my latest YouTube video on dividing daylilies.

At just two feet tall, snow sonata cosmos from @reneesgardenseeds are perfect for smaller gardens or at the front of the border. Which is exactly why I chose it and where I planted it! Such a happy, compact, no fuss flower that doesn’t get gangly like taller varieties. These were direct sown in May and have been blooming since July. Not bad for a $3 price tag. #grownfromseed #easyannuals #pollinatorgardening #lowmaintenancegarden #gardeningforbeginners #directsown #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #zone5bgardening #girlswhogarden #fallgardens #chicagogardens #flowergardens #sowyourown

As the perennials crisp up and recede, the annuals carry the garden through these last few weeks before frost has the last word. The hummingbirds are still battling each other but they will be moving on any day now. Magellan Coral Zinnia in the foreground is an @aasgardenwinners from @jungseeds At just 15 inches tall, it’s great for the front of the border and features 6-inch blooms that never stop coming. Coral Nymph salvia from @reneesgardenseeds and Bishop of Dover dahlia from @longfieldgardens complete the background. The combination has flowered nonstop all summer and been a pollinator beacon. #pollinatorgardening #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorplants #zinniaflowers #dahliaflowers #salvia #grownfromseed #igrewthisfromseed #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #girlswhogarden #zone5bgardening #fullsunplants #easyplantstogrow #plantsforbeginners

Timing is everything. Just as I started to snap, my neighbor across the street opened his smoker so it looks like a mist is settling just beyond the gate. #gardengates #mygardentoday #gardensofig #gramyourgarden #gadenlife #chicagogardens #mysecretgarden #zone5bgardening #dahliaseason #septembergardens #midwestgarden #illinoisgarden #girlswhogarden #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #growhalden

Well Jimmy, don’t you look fine this morning. And he found a royal purple smokebush to make his pink pop. James Galway is my first @david_austin_roses and I chose it for it’s cold hardiness, to zone 4, and its climbing ability. He’ll be moved in the spring since I never got around to installing his trellis. He made the best of it though and flowered well his first summer. #davidaustinroses #climbingroses #mygardentoday #rosesofınstagram #gramyourgarden #plantcombos #perennialgardening #zone5gardening #smokebush #hereshegrows #girlswhogarden #heatherblackmore

Another combination I’m digging, Rainbow Ascot euphorbia and Calamintha. The euphorbia is pinking up in these cooler temperatures and the bees are still all over the Calamintha. @waltersgardens #plantcombos #zone5gardening #euphorbia #rainbowascoteuphorbia #perennialgarden #mygardentoday #gardensofig #gramyourgarden #foliagefanatic #pollinatorplants #calamintha #pollinatorgardens #fullsunplants #fallgardens #chicagogardens #girlswhogarden #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

Yep, it’s fall. Thanks for sullying the dahlias. Bees are one thing, grasshoppers are an entirely different ballgame. #dahlias #septemberisfordahlias #thelasthurrah #fallgardens #grasshoppersofinstagram #insectinvasion #gardenpests #inmygarden #gardeninglife #girlswhogarden #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore #zone5gardening #zone5garden #insects #insectsofig #grasshoppers
