There are hundreds of perennial varieties, which are appropriate for any landscape, including extremes in sun, soil, and moisture. Once established, perennials will perform with only occasional fertilizing and pruning. Some even thrive on neglect!
For continuous interest in your perennial garden, fill it with:
- 25% spring bloomers
- 50% summer bloomers
- 25% fall bloomers
Consider height, texture and color when selecting your plants.
For best results, place three to five plants in one area to create a mass. Be sure to space each one properly and also leave room for your plants to grow and expand over time.
