Perennials in Your Garden: Lasting Beauty with Less Work

Annuals and perennials are the two main flower families. Annuals complete their cycle in one season; perennials return year after year—plant once, enjoy for years.

Why Choose Perennials?

• Longevity: Must return for at least two seasons; some last decades (e.g., peonies often pass generations).
• Variety: Endless colors, sizes, shapes, textures.
• Adaptability: Suitable for virtually any location, climate, or soil type.
• Dual Appeal: Some prized for flowers (aster, phlox, geraniums, peonies); others for lush foliage.

Smart Uses

• Combine with annuals and bulbs for continuous color with less work.
• Plant in difficult areas or as landscape anchors.
• Accent front yards, flagpoles, mailboxes, small spaces.
• Wide color range complements any home décor.
• Edge vegetable gardens or pair with shrubs for color in plain landscapes.

Check the longevity rating when buying. Perennials are wonderful, beautiful plants that reward minimal effort with lasting beauty.
