Issue and recommendation on a perennial plant?

I'm going to cultivate a space in my garden, which will cover a part of my yard pretty well and I want to take a good perennial to grow there. She takes the partial sun (6 hours) and is in a temperate climate. I have a propensity towards a Sage called "Ostfriesland" (East Frisia) and looks so beautiful. But I think that blooms only for the months of June and July, so I would like to know from experts in any garden, whether it would be a good idea into something plant with it to give that extra time zone of my Flower Garden. I was thinking maybe just throw some seeds of zinnia, or other perennial plant with sage. This is advisable? what other suggestions you might have? I also like the way Alysum or watch Artemisia. Basically I want something that blooms well and for a long time, which is elegant. And not just look terrible in winter.

Since you like the sage, let your plant base. Turn back since June and Flower Bulbs to extend the bloom in February or March. Maybe start with Tommie Crocus, daffodils then start as February Gold, then neglectum Muscari, then species tulips like Tulipa clusiana are perennial (not the regular tulips do not last for very many years past the first), then alliums, iris, and German. Pick up after July with summer bulbs such as yellow Hardy Crocosmia and Surprise Lilies (Lycoris squamiger), then, for the fall, Sternberg, Saffron Crocus and Colchicum. You will have a rest period after this until the Crocus Tommie in late winter. Almost the only possible choice for the flower then pansies or violas, violas will give you the elegant look better than pansies. Plant them the month of October for the flower most of the winter in most places. Make sure you choose the color purple looks good with the colors of the last few Fall Bulbs the first ones to spring a few. Salvia plant this spring, when they become available, but kinda distant, like maybe 20-24. "Decide what you want bulbs (these are only suggestions) a mail order catalog, as mzbulb.com. Be sure to arrange the bulbs higher toward the rear when planting those that bloom together or consecutively. I think you must order the Crocosmia in the spring, but the others should all be available as an order of fall. Plant fall-Bloomers with a flag immediately, and the other plant with the violets in the month of October. Cut the sage back to about an 8 "wide" pillow "(which should still be green) and fill in the gaps between all the sage the rest of the bulbs. Next year should be glorious all year round. In some places, where the violas are happy, they will reseed and after a few years you can not even need to replace every October.

In Perennial Vegetables the adventurous gardener will find information, tips, and sound advice on less common edibles that will make any garden a perpetual, low-maintenance source of food. Imagine growing vegetables that require just about the same amount of care as the flowers in your perennial beds and bordersno annual tilling and potting and planting.

Ranging beyond the usual suspects (asparagus, rhubarb, and artichoke) to include such minor crops as ground cherry and ramps (both of which have found their way onto exclusive restaurant menus) and the much sought after, anti-oxidant-rich wolfberry (also known as goji berries), Toensmeier explains how to raise, tend, harvest, and cook with plants that yield great crops and satisfaction.

Profiling more than 100 species, illustrated with dozens of color photographs and illustrations, and filled with valuable growing tips, recipes, and resources, Perennial Vegetables is a groundbreaking and ground-healing book that will open the eyes of gardeners everywhere to the exciting world of edible perennials.
