Growing on the High Plains: Perennials (Part Two)

High Plains Public Radio | By Skip Mancini
Published July 18, 2019 at 10:41 AM CDT

Today on Growing on the High Plains, we'll check in with our two-part series on perennials. Getting wily beds under control is easy if you remember two words: divide and conquer!

We'll discuss the different types -- spreaders vs. clumpers -- and how best to manage them. Since some can become weeds, while other can die off in the middle, these plants do require some attention to keep them under control.

Years ago Skip Mancini left the rocky coast of Northern California to return to her roots in the heartland. Her San Francisco friends, concerned over her decision to live in a desolate flatland best known for a Hollywood tornado, were afraid she would wither and die on the vine. With pioneer spirit, Skip planted a garden. She began to learn about growing not only flowers and vegetables, but hearts and minds. If you agree that the prairie is a special place, we think you'll enjoy her weekly sojourns into Growing on the High Plains.
