Perennials in the fall. It should be cut or not?

October came, and came to prepare the garden for winter. What are the perennials will be cut and what will not? Here are some examples.

What perennials do not need to cut

If the foliage of the plant stays green in winter, it does not need to be removed. Perennial well even spend the winter with her. She plants should be as nature intended it. From this group of plants I grow Badal, Mountain Girl, primrose, Brunner, cloves, Ajuga reptans, and saxifrage.

Perennials, whose foliage is cut

The foliage is cut at the bearded irises, phlox (and it is low to the ground). Different varieties of roses also need to remove the stems and leaves to the ground. They also include peonies and delphiniums.

Why do I need to cut off at the surface?

The above plants are at risk. They are often prone to fungal diseases, and are prone to an infection. By the end of the season accumulated fungal spores, so it makes sense to remove the leaves and stems to avoid the disease. In addition, if you do not cut the aboveground part of the plant, it can become a breeding ground for rodents, they weave their nests.

All the perennials that bloom until late autumn, it is not necessary to remove, as they delight us with their natural flowering and developing. Besides, they are so better get ready for winter.

Successful training you in the garden and the garden!
