Full Shade Hummingbird Plants, S. Fl., Zone 9. All Year Blooming, At Least Fall Into Winter & Winter Into Spring 26′ X 2′

Question

raised bed. Perhaps I wasn’t clear, I’m looking for perennials that will bloom all year long. At least some that will bloom into early Winter or some that will start blooming late Winter. Also, can I cut some perennial back to the ground, making room for the blooms of other perennials & when they have finished cut them back to the ground for the next perennial blooms, thus creating a cycle?

Answer 1

Absolutely! You might have trouble finding early spring bulbs since many require lower temperatures than you experience. You can find a few, like Muscari, that will work in your area.

Here are some articles that will help, and give you good information on maintaining the bed:
