Gardeners Urged to Leave 12 Plants Standing Until Spring
Original: Don't Over-Tidy the Garden This Fall: 12 Plants That Should Stay Standing Until Spring
Gardeners are being advised not to over-tidy their gardens this fall, with a list of 12 plants that should be left standing until spring rather than cut back. Leaving seed heads, stems and foliage in place is said to shelter beneficial insects, feed birds through winter and protect roots from frost, so a messy-looking garden can actually be healthier come spring.
Why now: It is autumn garden cleanup season, when many people are deciding what to cut back and what to leave.
