New subscriber here. I have been binge watching all of your videos the past couple of months. I’m a neighbor also in Massachusetts! You have inspired me so much this summer, I have literally transformed our landscape and I’m now officially hooked on gardening. Thank you for knowledge and inspiration. ❤
Hi there! Oh I'm so happy to hear this! I'm so glad your here and commented. You made me smile. I'm certain you are creating a beautiful landscape transformation 🌱😊💚
This a great list. I have most of the plants on your list and would definitely agree with your recommendations. I've recently added the cardinal flowers with dark foliage. I have some very wet areas and the green foliage ones thrive so hoping for the same with burgandy. My blue fortune agastache bloom from June until frost and deer and rabbits don't eat them.
Steph, i am amazed aat your gardening expertise. Every video contains a great deal of information (not to mention the gorgeous flowers). Now that summer is coming to a close, I will miss your gardening videos! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. 😇😇😇
This was fun! I live in Maine, zone 5a and am going to look for some of these tomorrow at Home Depot especially the Joe Pye weed. Thank you for all the late bloomers.🏵🌲🥀
Thanks Mary! Glad you enjoyed. I found Joe pye weed at my local home depot just recently. I have it shown in my last home depot video. I hope you find some. Thanks for watching!
Great list of plants. I have the toad lily on my list. I also think the hellenium is a great plant. Now that I have a full sun space, I need to find that plant. Thanks Steph.
Hi Sue! Oh its so cute and unique the toad lily. I don't have much shade or I would consider it. Perhaps down the road as I grow my shade. The flower is so dainty and unique. Bunnies do like it so something to think about. I hope you find some! Thanks for watching friend 💚
Thank you for sharing this video. I learned so much. You identified several perennials I had either forgotten or didn’t know about. My daughter is relying on me for 3 season garden.
Always a treat to hang out with you in the garden & garden centers :) All of these were already on my 'to buy' list, I don't want another season to go by without that black adder in my garden! I hope to get some coneflowers started from seed this fall, also.
Hi Steph! Love that you featured two of my favorite perennials: Millenium Allium and Chelone. They never disappoint. I just fell in love with your Anemone and Joe Pye Weed. Will need to find some to plant this fall. Thanks for all the info you provide on these videos and excited to see where you'll plant these new fall color perennials!
Hi Jolie! Thank you so much. The Alliums and Anenomes I just love!! I grew some chelone from seed, but its slow going and tiny, and my impatience got the best of me so I bought one to plant. I can't wait!! I hope to get that done over the next week. Thank you for the support, and watching my videos. Glad to have you here! 💚
I am subscribed and always hit the thumbs up button. You have very good information. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
Hi there, if you look under the video where you see "like", "share", "download", there is three little dots in a circle "...", if you click there, you will see the "save" option. Hope this helps.
Two not-so-green thumbs up for Blue Fortune Agastache! It’s a blooming powerhouse and pollinator magnet both in my dry, all-day, full-sun garden AND my parents’ woodland garden that only gets afternoon sun. I thought for sure it wouldn’t take at my parent’s house but it’s thriving in all 4 locations we’ve tried it in, even though the environments differ quite drastically (albeit both the same zone). And we only planted them late last summer and they’re all full-sized already, so also a fast grower. And a great vertical element in cut flower arrangements!
@@katiekane5247 oooh nice. I just planted a gold and blue agastache last week! Can’t remember the name but it’s not Gold Fortune - it’s dwarf, mounding variety. It’s lovely!
Hi Steph, I’ve had allium that flopped. Do you have any suggestions? Your garden is simply stunning! I love how you’ve planned and created your garden. You’ve shown some gorgeous perennials I haven’t thought of. I appreciate all of your knowledge and how your organized the highlights.
I came across some new agastache that had the prettiest color called “Meant to Bee™ 'Queen Nectarine' Anise Hyssop Agastache hybrid” I’m in love with the the color and the slight minty scent is a plus. I usually wanted to only plant “purple/lavender shades” of perennials but adding some colors of soft peaches/complimentary shades now. Thanks for the videos and tips- and I’m learning lots about planning a garden/landscaping that will bloom at different times for me so I can enjoy them before snow ❄️ comes 😭
Oh that one is beautiful Mari! its got a beautiful color way. I love the scent as well. I also adore purples paired with peaches/apricots. They look beautiful. If you can find "Tutti Fruity Apricot Delight" yarrow, its stunning! As is the Supreme canteloup coneflower. If you keep planting flowers throughout the season, something will always be in bloom going forward. Thanks for watching! 🌱
Just found your channel today and subscribed. 👍🏼 Great info and very well presented. I appreciate your in depth knowledge of perennials. There will be binge watching this evening, I guarantee it !!!
“Subscribe ya bastads!!” That is a saying from a radio host who now does a podcast! lol. It is meant to be funny for anyone out there about to be offended! Steph, I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration and education from you & that’s why I subscribed several years ago. I am looking to add 1) bleeding hearts heliopsis (not really in my color wheelhouse but the dark foliage and stems has made me want some!) 2) Japanese anemone 3) some cultivar of daisies. I have none but had planted daisies 3 different times in my sisters garden (before I purchased my home) and all 3 died so I’ve been hesitant to try again, but I’ve decided I want to. & I would love some hydrangeas for beautiful end of summer pink and white blooms! I have 4 Bobo’s purchased on clearance at Lowe’s about 1 &1/2 months ago still in their nursery cans because I’m stumped on where to plant them… where exactly to make my next garden bed.. but that is all part of the joy of gardening! Thanks Steph for sharing with us today! 😊♥️
Stacey, I just laughed at your comment lol, Thank you for the support 💚 So glad your here! As for the bleeding hearts heliopsis, I'm with you. Its also not generally my color preference, but I was contemplating where I could make them work as they were sooooo pretty!! YES to the Anenomes, GORGEOUS! Daisies are always a good choice. A quintessential garden flower 🌼 Try the shasta's they are pretty hardy, and in fact can spread a bit. I hope you find a great spot for your bobo's, they are a gorgeous hydrangea. Fall will be a great time to find a home for a new bed. Mine handle sun pretty well if they get enough water. Last year when we had lots of heat and drought, they got a little burnt, but this year with the extra rain, FABULOUS!! so if you have a part sun, or more wet spot, it would be ideal for them. Have fun! and thank you for watching.
Wait! Did I see Summer Crush Betony Agastache?!?! I love them!! I have them in my garden and the pollinators go bonkers for them! Is that Little Joe Pyeweed?
I really enjoy your channel. I'm in zone 6 also. Where is that nursery. I usually go to seones, didn't notice a few of those. Your gardens always look beautiful
Hello, It is called Sylvan. They sell mostly to landscaper companies as a wholesaler, but do have retail hours for the general public toward end of the week. Thank you! and thanks for watching.
Eupatorium chocolate prefers moist alkaline soil. Lobelia cardinalis require moist acid soil or won't thrive. I think soil ph and moisture requirements are vital but most people don't consider them, and it isn't generally stated in plant labels because nurseries just want you to buy their plants.
Great video!! Are black eyed Susan’s more of a summer or fall perennial? I’m looking for some and don’t see them at garden centers to buy?? Your videos are so helpful. I’m just starting out in my new yard.
Thank you! They are a mid/late summer and some can last through fall. There are a couple of varities out there. American Gold Rush, and Goldsturm being among the most popular. There are also some that have different heights and bloom size. In researching rudbeckia it appears that the fulgida varities are the longest blooming. I have rudbeckia/black eyed susans recently at Home Depot and Lowes garden centers. They typically show up in their garden centers mid to end of July, but I've seen some there even just last week. I hope you can find some near you.
I LOVE my Autumn Joy sedums I just found a new one at Home Depot it is Autumn Fire Sedum it says it’s an improved version lol I just love the pretty pink color of the blooms I hope they look the same I have a big hedge of them going right now they are so big 🤣🤍🤍🤍 I need some of the black sedums …. thanks for all the great suggestions!!! Love ya!!!! You should do a fall leaves shrubs video! I love my oakleaf hydrangeas colors 🍂🍁🤍🖤🤎🪴🪴🪴
Hi Marion! Thank you so much for your kind words. Oh those autumn fire sedums are pretty!! I've seen them before. Glad you enjoyed the video. I have this video I made last year about fall shrubs..You're right the oak leave hydrangeas are great! Here's the vid: ua-cam.com/video/OKHa3KJawAE/v-deo.html
Just discovered your video on fall color perennials, wonderful advice. I have a few of the ones you mentioned, and I will be looking to add a couple of new ones to the garden this fall. In what zone is your garden?
Hi there, I do not believe they ship. But maybe doing a google search many might be available on sites like whiteflower farm, bluestone perennials, or even on great garden plants.com. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Hi Leanna, thank you! I tried to include that information on the detail slide for each plant. Going off memory most of these were described as rabbit resistant on Google, with the exception of Asters (New England Asters seem to have a bit more resistance), and toad lilies (not ressitant). I have had rabbits nibble on my anenome buds. Fragrant plants like Russian sage and alliums they leave alone. Montauk daisies are also another plant that's easy to find they they don't seem to eat. They also leave my rudbeckia alone. Hope this helps.
Hi Jackie, The trellis/grid I strung up is helping a good amount with the dahlias. I will try to show that soon when doing a garden tour. The plant supports I purchased are helping with my taller coneflower in the front walkway.
LOVE LOVE this video! Have been looking for fall flowers to fill in. I grew Agastache from winter sowing and didn't like it last year. Your examples have me thinking maybe I need to try some different varieties .(It was pale gray lavender blooms, did not last long, just dried up) 7B MS
Hi Jo! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I purchased a type called blue fortune. Looking forward to planting it. I also tried a variety via winter sowing this year called golden jubilee. Its still growing, hopeful it fills out a bit more soon. I hope you find a good variety for your garden! 💚🌱😊
A note: when writing species name it's a convention to write Genus name in uppercase, and species name in lowercase, so Echinacea purpurea. There are some variety names (written in uppercase) that use Latin also, so to avoid confusion. For example Veronicastrum virginicum Album.
Thank you so much!! This is very helpful. I appreciate it. Its not something I've given much thought to in the past, but now that I know, I'll be aware. Thanks again!
Hi there! of the ones I showed in my garden, I did not grow any of them from seed. I did try Chelone from seed this year. My seedlings are tiny however. But hopefully they end up doing ok after some time. I do know that many of these varieties are available to grow from seed. Check out Swallow Tail seeds online. I have found them to have a very large selection of perennial seeds.
New subscriber does any of your list of plants/flowers need to be deadhead want something less work. Love all the list of perennials thanks again for the video I look forward seeing more of your videos..
Hi there! most plants that bloom will require deadheading. You can leave blooms up, but if the plant goes to seed, and drops seed, it will create more seedlings. You could opt to plant shrubs, and foliage plants which will require less maintenance and still offer lots of beauty. Thank for subscribing!
Hi Steph, have you seen this plant anywhere, Sneezeweed Autumnale Helenium Flower ? I can't find it anywhere!I l love it!! Thank you for any help! I'm in Michigan 5b
That is very interesting!! I wasn't going to ask if it was a still a young plant, but if its multiplying, it should be blooming. I'm stumped!! I hope someone can answer this for us.
Hi there! Would all of these perennials be ok planted in the fall, before the first frost? When is the best time to plant perennials in Boston? Looking for perennials to plant this year and it’s now early October:)
Yes! Fall is a great time to plant perennials. You'll want to do that sooner than later, so in the next couple of weeks so that they can be tucked into the soil before the ground freezes. I'm in Massachusetts also.
How do you keep your autumn joy sedum upright? Mine clumps spread out from the center and lie horizontally. They are in full sun & I do not feed them or give them extra water. I am in zone 7.
Hi Barbara! I find that they do best if they have lots of sun. Also, they prefer soil that is drier and no fertilizing. These 3 things, full sun, drier and poor soil is what they prefer. However, doing the chelsea chop also helps them from getting too leggy. Hope this helps. I did a video on that this year, that you can check out here if you would like: ua-cam.com/video/RXrILzTcPIc/v-deo.htmlsi=IKe6aBendEVaj8hX
I’m so confused on the agastache. Here in northern Wisconsin, I can buy both little alder and blue fortune and the tag says they’re hardy in zone 4. The tags on the ones in the video say zone 6-10 (they’re the same variety as the ones here, blue fortune and little alder). It’s almost as if the zones are just estimates and like saying “eh, it might live in your zone or it may not”. It’s so confusing! I don’t have the money to be buying plants that *might* be hardy in my zone 😅 I loved the video though, and am going to give the lobelia a try 😊
Hi Chelsea, I totally get that. I've had the same questions about plants at times. I'm with you, I also am cautious about plants that I'm not sure will make it. After all, we all have a budget. In cases like this what I usually do is, I'll google the plant, and take an average. If I see a plant say that its hardy from zone 4-9 and then another source rate it 6-9, I would say its likely that its hardy down to a 5 or 6. Sometimes you can push limits on plants slightly if you plant them in a sheltered/protected location such a south facing wall etc but its certainly tricky at times. Hope this helps.
Hi Steph, I have been watching your videos for awhile. I live in NE Ohio, zone 6a. I see that you have some hydrangeas in your garden areas. How do you keep the deer from eating them?
Hi there, The best way I have found to keep them from getting eaten is to spray with Invisible Fence Deer & Rabbit. I do also utilize a product called deer training fence/wireless deer fence, which is effective for shorter front of the border perennials such as my daylilies for example. Here's links to both in case your interested: amzn.to/3QyaEPz Video about deer spikes: ua-cam.com/video/Fq2cTt6Sh94/v-deo.html
Drive around if you can find a dirt road or unsprayed right of way to enjoy what's growing without any help. You may be able to collect seeds to make adding some stunners to your yard for free.
Thank you very much for talking the time and skill to share these ideas with much detail. ( and no background music)
I just bought a dark purple aster and the cardinal flower today. If I have to say goodbye to summer, I might as well have some colorful fall flowers.
Hi Stef 🌺 Wonderful list of these pretty plants . I love their blooms in the garden . Have afantastic day .🌺🌻🌺
Hi Lina! They are so pretty, love to have blooms all season long. Thank you, have a great weekend!

They are all perennial plants, my favorite is the Rudbeckia, Shasta Daisy and Autumn Joy.
Those are so pretty! 🌱
Another great video, I love all those perennials!❤
Thank you so much Cindy! 🌱
Thank you!!! I am on the hunt for alliums!! Love your podcast!! 💐
Thank you so much Pam! Hope you find some alliums!
Hi Steph! Love that you featured two of my favorite perennials: Millenium Allium and Chelone. They never disappoint. I just fell in love with your Anemone and Joe Pye Weed. Will need to find some to plant this fall. Thanks for all the info you provide on these videos and excited to see where you'll plant these new fall color perennials!
Hi Jolie! Thank you so much. The Alliums and Anenomes I just love!! I grew some chelone from seed, but its slow going and tiny, and my impatience got the best of me so I bought one to plant. I can't wait!! I hope to get that done over the next week. Thank you for the support, and watching my videos. Glad to have you here! 💚
I’ve never heard of the Helenium. It’s beautiful!
Good choices!
This was an inspirational video. I have many of the plants already, but I think I’ll visit a nursery and look around for some more fall color.
Thanks for the fall garden ideas! Love going shopping with you!!!❤
Thanks for this video, it gave me some good ideas for fall planting 😊
Great video for late blooming flowers.
Hope I can find some of these many in my zone 9 so should be able to grow here thanks for the video

Two not-so-green thumbs up for Blue Fortune Agastache! It’s a blooming powerhouse and pollinator magnet both in my dry, all-day, full-sun garden AND my parents’ woodland garden that only gets afternoon sun.
I thought for sure it wouldn’t take at my parent’s house but it’s thriving in all 4 locations we’ve tried it in, even though the environments differ quite drastically (albeit both the same zone). And we only planted them late last summer and they’re all full-sized already, so also a fast grower. And a great vertical element in cut flower arrangements!
My personal favorite is Gold Fortune with gold foliage & light blue blooms. They're kind of short lived, 3-5 years, but they can be started from seed
Thank you! This is so great to know! I picked some up, and I'm excited to plant it in my garden 🌱
@@katiekane5247 oooh nice. I just planted a gold and blue agastache last week! Can’t remember the name but it’s not Gold Fortune - it’s dwarf, mounding variety. It’s lovely!
@@HookedandRooted fantastic! I’m zone 6a, Toronto area for reference. Confident it’ll flourish for you, too :-)
Great video! I love all these plants Steph! I purchased a Baby Joe Pye Weed last week and I love it!
Hi Mary, Oh yay! I bought a baby joe also, so pretty!!

Agastache Blue Fortune is one of my favorite plants. It looks beautiful near my Hydrangea Paniculatas!

Just discovered your video on fall color perennials, wonderful advice. I have a few of the ones you mentioned, and I will be looking to add a couple of new ones to the garden this fall. In what zone is your garden?
Hi Karen, wonderful! Welcome to the channel. I garden in Massachusetts which is a zone 6
It's great to know there are lots of plants that bloom summer to fall. Does the nursery have online orders?I haven't seen these plants where I live.
Hi there, I do not believe they ship. But maybe doing a google search many might be available on sites like whiteflower farm, bluestone perennials, or even on great garden plants.com. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Love your videos. Here in GA, lots of my plants get mowed down by rabbits. Could you please mention whether plants are rabbit resistant? Thanks.
Hi Leanna, thank you! I tried to include that information on the detail slide for each plant. Going off memory most of these were described as rabbit resistant on Google, with the exception of Asters (New England Asters seem to have a bit more resistance), and toad lilies (not ressitant). I have had rabbits nibble on my anenome buds. Fragrant plants like Russian sage and alliums they leave alone. Montauk daisies are also another plant that's easy to find they they don't seem to eat. They also leave my rudbeckia alone. Hope this helps.
I'd love to know how your new Dahlia supports are working. My tomatoes cages have tipping/ leaning from my Dahlias
Hi Jackie, The trellis/grid I strung up is helping a good amount with the dahlias. I will try to show that soon when doing a garden tour. The plant supports I purchased are helping with my taller coneflower in the front walkway.
@@HookedandRooted thank you I look forward to it
LOVE LOVE this video! Have been looking for fall flowers to fill in. I grew Agastache from winter sowing and didn't like it last year. Your examples have me thinking maybe I need to try some different varieties .(It was pale gray lavender blooms, did not last long, just dried up) 7B MS
Hi Jo! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I purchased a type called blue fortune. Looking forward to planting it. I also tried a variety via winter sowing this year called golden jubilee. Its still growing, hopeful it fills out a bit more soon. I hope you find a good variety for your garden! 💚🌱😊
thank you so much!@@HookedandRooted
Westport. Just a quick 2 1/2 hours from Derry. Not too bad.
A note: when writing species name it's a convention to write Genus name in uppercase, and species name in lowercase, so Echinacea purpurea. There are some variety names (written in uppercase) that use Latin also, so to avoid confusion. For example Veronicastrum virginicum Album.
Thank you so much!! This is very helpful. I appreciate it. Its not something I've given much thought to in the past, but now that I know, I'll be aware. Thanks again!
Lol
Steph, did you grow any of the flowers from seed? Thank you for the ideas!
Hi there! of the ones I showed in my garden, I did not grow any of them from seed. I did try Chelone from seed this year. My seedlings are tiny however. But hopefully they end up doing ok after some time. I do know that many of these varieties are available to grow from seed. Check out Swallow Tail seeds online. I have found them to have a very large selection of perennial seeds.
New subscriber does any of your list of plants/flowers need to be deadhead want something less work.
Love all the list of perennials thanks again for the video I look forward seeing more of your videos..
Hi there! most plants that bloom will require deadheading. You can leave blooms up, but if the plant goes to seed, and drops seed, it will create more seedlings. You could opt to plant shrubs, and foliage plants which will require less maintenance and still offer lots of beauty. Thank for subscribing!
Helpful video. Aside from the plants in the back of your car, did you buy any others as plants?
Hi Jennifer, Just the plants in the back of my car. I bought 8 all together, and I can't wait to plant them 💚
Hi Steph, have you seen this plant anywhere, Sneezeweed Autumnale Helenium Flower ? I can't find it anywhere!I l love it!! Thank you for any help! I'm in Michigan 5b
Not yet! In this nursery visit I only saw the ones I featured. Wonder if it can be found online?
My alliums never bloom, green and multiply, but no blooms. I have them in full sun . Any ideas ?
That is very interesting!! I wasn't going to ask if it was a still a young plant, but if its multiplying, it should be blooming. I'm stumped!! I hope someone can answer this for us.
Hi. What’s the garden center you visited? I’m in southern nh and love to check out other places
Hello, This was a nursery called Sylvan in Massachusetts.
Hi there! Would all of these perennials be ok planted in the fall, before the first frost? When is the best time to plant perennials in Boston? Looking for perennials to plant this year and it’s now early October:)
Yes! Fall is a great time to plant perennials. You'll want to do that sooner than later, so in the next couple of weeks so that they can be tucked into the soil before the ground freezes. I'm in Massachusetts also.
How do you keep your autumn joy sedum upright? Mine clumps spread out from the center and lie horizontally. They are in full sun & I do not feed them or give them extra water. I am in zone 7.
Hi Barbara! I find that they do best if they have lots of sun. Also, they prefer soil that is drier and no fertilizing. These 3 things, full sun, drier and poor soil is what they prefer. However, doing the chelsea chop also helps them from getting too leggy. Hope this helps. I did a video on that this year, that you can check out here if you would like: ua-cam.com/video/RXrILzTcPIc/v-deo.htmlsi=IKe6aBendEVaj8hX
I’m so confused on the agastache. Here in northern Wisconsin, I can buy both little alder and blue fortune and the tag says they’re hardy in zone 4. The tags on the ones in the video say zone 6-10 (they’re the same variety as the ones here, blue fortune and little alder). It’s almost as if the zones are just estimates and like saying “eh, it might live in your zone or it may not”. It’s so confusing! I don’t have the money to be buying plants that *might* be hardy in my zone 😅 I loved the video though, and am going to give the lobelia a try 😊
Hi Chelsea, I totally get that. I've had the same questions about plants at times. I'm with you, I also am cautious about plants that I'm not sure will make it. After all, we all have a budget. In cases like this what I usually do is, I'll google the plant, and take an average. If I see a plant say that its hardy from zone 4-9 and then another source rate it 6-9, I would say its likely that its hardy down to a 5 or 6. Sometimes you can push limits on plants slightly if you plant them in a sheltered/protected location such a south facing wall etc but its certainly tricky at times. Hope this helps.
Hi Steph, I have been watching your videos for awhile. I live in NE Ohio, zone 6a. I see that you have some hydrangeas in your garden areas. How do you keep the deer from eating them?
ua-cam.com/video/Fq2cTt6Sh94/v-deo.html
Hi there, The best way I have found to keep them from getting eaten is to spray with Invisible Fence Deer & Rabbit. I do also utilize a product called deer training fence/wireless deer fence, which is effective for shorter front of the border perennials such as my daylilies for example. Here's links to both in case your interested: amzn.to/3QyaEPz Video about deer spikes: ua-cam.com/video/Fq2cTt6Sh94/v-deo.html
Drive around if you can find a dirt road or unsprayed right of way to enjoy what's growing without any help. You may be able to collect seeds to make adding some stunners to your yard for free.
I'm just afraid these would be invasive. If they are growing without much help, they will grow uncontrollably with a little love and care.
