I'm a beginner gardener and started my first perennial bed last year with plants from Rosy's nursery. They looked amazing in their first summer and I watched them all going through various phases throughout the year. I was a little worried as to whether they would all come back this year but sure enough I'm watching them all spring back to life! So no, perennials aren't hard to look after if I can do it!

Perennials are like old friends...love seeing them back in the spring. If you keep the foliage over winter helps the ladybirds and other good bugs 🐞

I love my perennials, they do their own thing while I'm busy with the annual seedlings. They all work together to make gardening fun and beautiful.

Dead stems are also useful for finding your plants in spring

I too love perennials…new to them just a few years ago. SO much less work than beds of annuals & MUCH more interesting! So exciting in spring seeing them come up again. Have learnt so much from Rosie’s tutorials, both online & the in person workshops in the nursery which are great.

Hello Rosie, I totally agree with you, cottage garden + perennials is exactly my style. I also use aromatic herbs as perennials and mix them with the rest. Rosemary, aromatic salvia, thyme, marjoram , even parsley look beautiful when in flower. I grew up in Versailles so the park was my everything (play, picnics, flirts, running around the canal, etc) and although beautiful, formal French garden/park style is a bit sterile in the sense that there is no surprise. Everything exudes control.

Great video. You are inspirational. I'm going to go straight out into my garden to see what has changed since yesterday!

I started gardening about 10 years ago but feel like such a beginner. My path from cottage gardener, adding more naturalistic plantings has been exciting. I've made lots of mistakes. I live by the words of Samuel Beckett. "Fail better."

Hi Rosy, I have a variegated Wigelia (about 6ft. high) which has been reverting back to its original variety over the last few years. I'm planning on cutting it down to a couple of feet and cutting out the green branches. I'll probably sacrifice the flowers for a season, hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Love your channel by the way, I've learnd a lot thanks to you.

@rosyhardy18 3 ай бұрын

This will certainly sacrifice the flower, but may also make it send up more green reverted growth. See what happens it may need replacing soon

I have fun with perennials but also have realized you have to keep in mind - right place right plant. This is important for beginners and any gardener actually. We all have fails when the plant is in the wrong place. If you want folks to plant more perennials, I guess you need to educate them about this. Maybe group the plants in your nursery by plant requirements. Not just sun/ shade and zone, but also flowering season, wet or dry conditions. - because these are the aspects that trip us up as gardeners. I’m having trouble under an oak tree where I have success with many plants like phlox, but lost both a hardy aster and a Baptisia. - perhaps root competition? I don’t know.

My baptisia is in full sun and I keep cutting it back as it grows into a monster lol Its neighbours are many hemerocallis, gaura, a rose and a corkscrew hazel,

Plant labels usually provide all that information, at least in the UK. As do the descriptions on the website if you’re buying from an online nursery.

Wish I had a garden. People likely say "get a houseplant" as IF that is even an equivalent. It's not even close. It's NOT close. It's like saying put a rubberband in your hair if you're cold and need a hat.
