Perennials to Cut Back in Fall

As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, it's time to start thinking about preparing your garden for winter. One important task is to cut back perennials. This helps to remove dead or diseased foliage, encourage new growth in the spring, and prevent pests and diseases from overwintering in your garden.

The best time to cut back perennials is after the first frost, but before the ground freezes. This will give the plants a chance to store energy for the winter. However, there are some perennials, such as bleeding heart and ferns, that should not be cut back in the fall.
