Plant Dormancy

A gift for the winter – We have to accept the fact that dormant and dry plants in winter are beautiful and attractive, a garden with empty borders is not. Nothing is sadder and more insignificant than emptiness. Plants that remain erect with sturdy stems and inflorescences are a gift that the moment offers us. What maintenance can perennial herbaceous plants with winter interest have? None, they give us beauty and color of a superfine elegance without asking for anything in return, when the summer starts again they will need a cleaning or a cut of the little that is left from the past winter, others should not be touched just as normally in nature are treated.
