As our gardens and flower beds are coming to a seasonal end, it might be noticeable where changes could be made for next season. Perhaps there is not enough variety of colors blooming in the flowerbed. Some flowers might have grown too close together and one is taking over another space. Maybe all the flowers bloomed at the same time leaving only a green color in the flowerbed. Many late bloomers can carry color into the fall. There is a tendency to keep a plant whenever it is growing. At times we must be heartless and remove it. Next spring it will look so small as it emerges. You will not want to remove it either and have the same circumstances as there is now. Keep in mind the saying about perennials: “The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap.”
