I often get asked what my favourite perennials are. There are so many really great ones out there, it's hard to choose! Here you can see a few of my top choices. Maybe I should call these my favourites for the month, since the list always keeps changing as I learn about new plants. Keep checking back to see some of my latest discoveries. - John

 | Plant #6 - Anemone × hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’ | | | |
Japanese Anemone are outstanding plants for the late summer and fall garden. The branching stems of poppy-like flowers are superb for cutting. Plants prefer a rich, moist site, spreading to form a patch. This heirloom selection features large, white single blossoms on tall stems. Good for part shade. Use a winter mulch in colder regions, particularly if planting in the fall. Easily divided in early spring. May need to be staked towards late s...

| | Plant #10 - Ceratostigma plumbaginoides | | | |
This plant is most often grown as a groundcover or edging plant along the front of a border. Foliage makes a low green mound through the summer, bursting into colour in August, when the brilliant blue starry flowers appear. As summer turns to fall, the whole plant begins to turn shades of bright scarlet and finally maroon red. Allow it room to spread, as plants want to form a patch by making underground stolons. In Zones 5 to 6 plants should ...
