Shade perennials

Perennial hardiness.... We grow many varieties of perennial at Wayside Farm all of which are hardy to Zone 3 or 4. Our winters here are harsh; if the plants survive North Sandwich, you can be assured of their zone-hardiness for our area. Please remember that proper soil preparation and site location are as important to success as zone hardiness, which merely classifies area minimum temperatures. Too wet a site will prevent proper air from remaining in the soil, and can result in failure of the plants to thrive. Also, be wary of fertilizing new plantings too heavily.
As perennials fill out, they may be divided or thinned to prevent crowding. Best to divide early in spring, when plants are only a few inches tall, or at the end of summer when they can be cut back prior to digging. Moving or dividing perennials (or shrubs) when fully leafed out or during hot weather will cause great stress and may kill them!
Most of our perennials are potted in 3 or 4 quart containers and are available as soon as they emerge from the soil, starting in late April. As the season warms and plants put on growth, many more varieties become available. See our listing of Perennials for the the varieties we grow here at Wayside Farm.
Garden preparation.... Put a bit of thought into preparing new gardens; the ground should be free of weeds and weed seeds if possible. Work in as much organic material as you can justify (perhaps as much as 50% of the original ground, if soil is poor). Add 10 pounds of lime or wood ash per 100 square feet if the area hasn't been treated recently: our soils in North Sandwich are naturally too acidic for most vegetables and garden plants. Mix in compost or manure before planting: we would suggest about one pond per square foot. No additional plant food should be needed, unless growing in a restrictive container or growing a vegetable garden. If planting only a few plants, or planting into in existing gardens, use a shovel-full of well-aged compost or manure per large plant.
Watering.... Give a good soaking at planting, but try to wean plants from frequent care as soon as they settle in and begin to grow. They will need your help the first year and may also benefit from watering in subsequent years, particularly in the heat of the summer and during drought. Generally, we suggest plating large divisions or gallon pot sized plants during spring summer and early enough in the fall to allow roots to put on a good growth. Planting small plants too late in the fall may give a poor survival rate!
Vegetable Gardening....
Vigorous vegetable plants have greater needs: for sunlight, water and
nitrogen. Be sure to give regular waterings, all summer, and
supplemental fertilizer! Weed are relatively easy to control when small;
much harder to deal with when they become established (they also can
attract insect pests). Cultivating regularly with a hoe can make the
garden more attractive and save time in the long run. Try to prevent
weeds from going to seed; they will be back to plague your garden if you
let them go. Applying a mulch may save labor, and will help provide a
moister and more moderate soil environment as well as reducing the time
taken weed.
Container Gardening.... It's possible to create amazing pots of flowers, herbs or vegetables with some interesting containers and a bit of imagination. Any plant that is asked to become full and lush in a restricted soil volume does, however have special needs. To have success with container gardening, you should be prepared for frequent waterings, or a suitable irrigation system to help out if you are not at home for extended periods of time. Containers require more frequent fertilizing as well, although not necessarily at high rates. Slow-release fertilizer is very helpful. As the summer gets warm and the potted plants grow quickly, it may be helpful to thin, prune, support or remove some of the plants.
