The end of summer is drawing near, and you might well be thinking it’s too late to plant anything new outdoors. But that’s not the case - if you want to bring some colour to your garden that will see you into the new season and beyond, there are still plenty of autumn flowering perennials to plant in August.
‘August is a great time to plant certain perennials if you want to keep your garden colourful well into autumn,’ says David Denyer, flower and garden expert at Eflorist. 'The soil is still warm, which helps roots settle in quickly, and the cooler evenings reduce the stress on new plants compared to the consistently higher temperatures in June and July.’
