Getting the Best From Herbaceous Perennials with Rosy Hardy
Show Notes Chapter Markers

There are few better qualified to talk about herbaceous perennials than 24-time Chelsea gold medal winner Rosy Hardy from Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants and we're delighted to have the benefit of her knowledge once again to discuss this garden essential.
We talk about seed sowing, plant breeding, and popular plant choices for '23. We also discuss how to use herbaceous plants effectively in your garden and Rosy makes some interesting points about colours and shapes.
We also discuss Peat Free which Rosy has long been a proponent of. However, we do talk about the extension of the ban on use of peat-free products but it's worth pointing out that this extension is relevant to professionals. Hobby gardeners will still need to switch to peat free by the end of this year (23).
As ever, there's a chapter page if you prefer to select items of interest but Rosy is such good value, you really ought to listen right through.
