\nThe end of summer does not mean that other perennials aren’t beginning their blooming season. Three fall flowering perennials- reblooming daylilies, remontant iris, and fall anemones- thrive here in the Southern Appalachian (USDA zones 6 and 7).<\/p>\n

Early fall is a great time to again enjoy a lovely bed of re-blooming daylilies (Hemerocallus spp<\/em>.). ‘Stella D’Oro’ (golden yellow), the most popular variety for the past quarter of the century, was recently dethroned by ‘Happy Returns’ (light yellow). ‘Pardon Me’ (red) is another re-blooming favorite. Inter-planting daffodils, tulips or hyacinths among the daylily clumps extends your floral calendar another month or two.<\/p>\n

Remontant iris (Iris spp<\/em>.) re-bloom a second time from August through November. The trick to re-blooming daylilies and irises is to provide some relief from summer drought stress. Weekly deep watering is certain guarantee of repeat fall bloom.<\/p>\n

Fall anemones (Anemone x hybrida<\/em>) are available in many colorful varieties, starting with an old favorite and garden performer ‘Honorine Jobert’ (2-3 ” single white blooms), ‘Queen Charlotte’ (3″ semi-double pink), ‘September Charm’ (3″ single rose-pink), and ‘Whirlwind’ (4″ semi-double white).<\/p>\n

Do not grow fall anemones in direct full day sun. Plants prefer a partial sun to partial shady spot. Caution: plant in spring thru mid-summer to permit adequate time to establish their roots. Anemones perennialize easily when planted in richly composted, well-drained garden soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
