✂️ Cutting Back Perennials ~ Which to Cut Back? ✂️ 

I always appreciate your “garden chore” videos! It’s like a mini tour.

Yuliya, this a very helpful video, thank you very much! How I wish to walk with you in my garden and talk plants... I guess, everyone here feels like that. Thanks again for the work you put in your videos!

I found this video so useful! I’ve been selectively cutting back plants that have died back, but it’s nice to see which ones should definitely be cut back. Thank you!

I'm in zone 4b, so I've already done my fall clean-up, but this was a very helpful video!! I really appreciated you going through plant by plant explaining what you do! (Fortunately, I think I did pretty much the same for the plants we have in common.) Thanks so much!

Thank you for the reminder. My autumn bride coral bells and autumn brilliance fern are phenomenal all year. I’m so glad I have these plants.

I love this Yulia....it's pretty comprehensive! Great demonstrations as to the "how-to".... You have such a wonderful garden!

I so appreciate your style of gardening! It's just so full of texture and layers. Thank you for this excellent advice!

This is such a comprehensive, helpful video. I learned a lot. Thanks…

Great video! I didn’t know you can cut back bearded iris in the fall, yea!

Very helpful. Now I need to find the time to get outside before it's too late 🍂🍁

Very helpful! I think this is one of the most helpful videos I have watched for gardening. I have never had clear instructions about when and why. Many thanks!

Oh my! What is that gorgeous shrub behind you in all its fall glory, over your right shoulder? Fothergilla maybe? Thanks for all the great tips. Update: just read thru other comments and learned it’s a hamamelis or witch hazel! The other day I was browsing the net, plant dreaming, of course, and came across various cultivars of hamamelis and decided I needed at least one of these in my garden. This shot of you in front of yours confirms it!!! 🧡💛

I took advantage of the warmer temps the last 2 weeks here on the shore in Md and cleaned up the garden. Also used the time to extend a garden, loaded it with a variety of spring bulbs Really appreciate that you elaborate on each plant, the why and why not.

Very helpful and you covered so many plants right from your own yard!

This is the first year I am cutting almost everything back - really bad fungal issues throughout so all the detritus is going in the trash. I usually leave the same plants up through winter that you do, but this year I'm worried the fungus will overwinter. It was so bad that I may need to treat everything in the spring with copper fungicide (yikes!) And then add back micorrhyzae in late June. So sad. I love watching the Goldfinch hang on the echinacea stems to eat seeds.

Good information. Beautiful shot of you and plants at the end of the video.

Cutting back is its own version of creative editing 👍

Hi 👋 neighbor, I’m on Long Island NY, zone 7a. A lot of what you described is definitely true for me, with a few exceptions. New subbie🙌. Great advice.

Thank you, that was very useful. Some plants I just can't remember and end up having to look them up.

Thanks so much for your great videos. I'm in PA and zone 6b so I use your blogs to know what I'm supposed to be doing on my garden each season. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and my gardens looking great.

Thank you. Very helpful. Answered a bunch of questions.

Super helpful and perfect timing!

🙏🏻 for being thoughtful and teaching of the insects that need spaces in order to survive 🙏🏻 Great video

Super helpful video! Would love to see more like this. Thank you!

Thanks for this video!! I find after fall cleanup the garden looks so good before the winter nap!!🌸🌸

Thank you Yulia!!! Great guide

Another great video! You have a beautiful garden Yuliya! I garden in Calgary, Alberta Canada, zone 4, so my cleanup has been done for awhile. We live in a 'Chinook' zone so our temperatures can swing wildly in the winter! Plus, we get lots of drying, warm winds coming over the Rockies. Nice for humans spending time outside, but not so great for the plants. I cut down most of my perennials - tossing anything diseased into the garbage and the rest on my compost pile. Then, I throw down bone meal and top the beds with shredded leaves and wait for spring.

Excellent video, very helpful info!

Thank you for this informative video!

Great video! Very helpful! 👍

Thank you for this! It's helpful to know the criteria to use to decide on Fall vs. Spring cleanup.

This is so useful!

Thanks for all the great information & tips:

Thank you this has been extremely helpful, as are all your video. 🤗

Nice update Yulia. 🍁👍

Thank you for all the wonderful cleanup tips, Yulia! I will be out in my garden tomorrow doing some cleanup, and it's good to know which ones to cut back!

Thanks for the tips!

That was a great video!

Helpful and appreciated! Thanks!

Great video. Your garden looks beautiful even in late fall.

Спасибо Юля! Очень своевременное видео. Спасибо что написала названия растений. Сад даже осенью выглядит хорошо, особенно если любишь там возиться с растюшками! Зимой много птичек прилетит покормиться и от ветра спрятаться . Happy Thanksgiving!

Very helpful. Thanks!

Very useful. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing always enjoy your videos 👍❤️😊

Very helpful video. Thank you.

So helpful!

Thanks for the tips 😁 Happy Thanksgiving 😊

Very helpful. Thx!

Very helpful video !! Thank you

Thank you, very helpful

Great video, thank you 🙏🏻 😊

Thank you 🙏 for this video , very informative and much appreciated,

This was very helpful, thank you! Happy Thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍁

Very helpful, thank you.

Yulia your videos are always so detailed and informative! I love that I learn something new each time I watch your channel 🤩 What is that beautiful tree that is in full fall glory behind you at the end of the video? 🍂 Love from NJ 💕

Very informative. Thank you. What is that colorful shrub to your right at the very end? My guess is a viburnam.

Hi Yuliya 😊 Thanks for posting. Good info. I have some advice for others questioning when to prune their plants. If not searching on line, your Nursery will have information for you. They have printed info they will give to you on various plants, if you ask. As for me, I live in an association and am on the list for no pruning or trimming shrubs. Unfortunately this year as did 2 years ago, they came through and tore off my plants. It upsets me so, but nothing I can do anything about. It hurts me personally as I do not treat my pretty girls like that. Heurcheras, Hellabores and ferns, among others. I had already done my fall cleanup choices. Here's prayers for next year! Hope all is well, and Happy 🦃 Day, dear! xo

Would love you to do a fall tour of your yard with plant names!!! Thanks ❤️

Very helpful. Thanks

Thank you!

Yulia, you’re right about the lily stalks not looking pretty in the winter. 🥴😂

any and all perennials provide a lot of shelter for wintering insects, seeds for birds, etc. cutting them down in the spring and leaving them on the ground provides nutrients for the soil; same with fall leaves

Cutting back parrennials 👍💪🙏

Very informative list and greatly helps with fall garden chores. What about lavender in DE, zone 7a. Some of mine are quite large so concerned about snow weight. Should they be cut back now or wait until spring? Thanks!🙏🙏

great video! i have not started fall clean up yet since i'm in NC7b - some things are still flowering! i kinda wish some things would get sleepy and dry out, so i can plant my bulbs.

Such a helpful video thank you! Where can I get autumn brilliance ferns? I can never find them in any gardens where I live in zone 7b Queens NY.

I am zone 9a and I’ve always left my above ground foliage that freezes (ginger, EEs etc) because I was told it protects the bulbs and rhizomes in winter

What was the name of the product you shared on IG to treat fungal issues on peonies? Mine have had it terribly the past few years.

Thank you this was really helpful. What about anise hyssop? I read that they have hollow stems that are prone to crown rot over the winter if you cut it down too soon. Also what is that bright orange shrub at the very end of the video? It's gorgeous!

Hi Yuliya. Should I prune my roses now or wait for spring?

Great video, Yulia. Question about yarrow: I read that it should be cut down in the fall, and I cut mine back today-but it was still green and healthy. Should I not have done that? I’m in zone 8a.

👍👍👍👍👍

🙏🙏🙏🥰

É. Dia. Folhas caiu. Difícil..

Why garden just for us humans? Birds need the seeds & young spiders use stems to weave, eat & grow. I cut back way less now.
