Late Blooming Perennials for Your
Garden
When you plan your garden, be sure to include plants
that bloom late in the season so that you will have some color in your garden when most other flowers have faded.
To make the beauty from your garden last throughout
the year, you can gather some of the flowers and make bouquets of dried flowers for your home. To dry the flowers simply take
a bunch of flowers and tie the stems together with string and hang the upside down in a dry place for a few weeks. After the
flowers are dry you can place the in vases for a beautiful arrangement to put on your table.
