I haven’t given you an update on the lovage, French sorrel, good king henry and other new perennial additions to the Dear Wonderful Hubby’s and my garden because…

Well… I never know if a perennial has truly taken, becoming perennial until it has survived a Canadian Winter.

Just about any plant, including annuals, do well during a Canadian Summer. It is the Winter that is the true test if a perennial has taken or not.

So yes, the new perennials look like they are doing well. (knock on wood) But I’ll only know if they are truly doing well once Spring 2027 hits.
