Embrace November: Late Garden Bloomers & Cozy Garden Ideas

As November sets in, it's the perfect time to appreciate the beauty of late garden bloomers and add a touch of coziness to your garden. While the daylight grows shorter and the temperatures drop, these resilient plants will continue to make your garden vibrant and inviting.

Here are some late bloomers and cozy garden ideas to embrace this November:

Continues to bloom until frost:

• Pineapple Sage
• Pink Cascade Buddleia
• Red Fox Veronica
• Monarch Blue Knight Buddleia

Excellent for foliage colors:

• Black Forest Cake Heuchera
• Autumn Brilliance Fern
• Georgia Blue Veronica
• Mexican Feather Grass
• Firewitch Dianthus (blooms and foliage)
• Frosty Fire Dianthus (blooms and foliage)
• Mahogany Ajuga

Plant in containers to enjoy indoors or as gifts:

• Arp Rosemary
• Mojito Mint (plant only in containers)
• Phenomenal Lavender

Cozy Garden Ideas:

• Create a Welcoming Sitting Area:
• Transform your garden into a cozy retreat by adding comfortable outdoor seating with cozy warm blankets and soft comfy cushions. Surround the area with Mexican Feather Grass, Autumn Brilliance Ferns and late-blooming flowers (Black Forest Cake Heuchera) for a serene ambiance.
• Incorporate Evergreen Shrubs:
• Adding evergreen shrubs like Boxwood and Boxwood Alternatives can give your garden structure and greenery all year long. Also, excellent in containers at front door and sitting spaces.
• Mulching with Natural Materials:
• Use fallen leaves or bark mulch around your plants for both aesthetic appeal and insulation against the cold. Mulching not only keeps the garden looking neat but also protects plant roots during chilly temperatures.
• Garden Lighting:
• Enhance the cozy feel by incorporating soft, ambient lighting with solar-powered lanterns and golden or orange fairy lights. These will highlight your late-bloomers and create a magical atmosphere for evening gatherings.
