Perennials
are best described as plants that live for more than one year.
Most herbaceous perennials die back to the ground each year and
return from the crown or roots the next year, how ever some perennials
are evergreen living right thru the winter. Most perennials only
flower for 4-6 weeks with some exceptions and perennials have
different bloom times spring, summer and fall so when selecting
perennials try to select perennials that bloom at different times
so you will have continuous color all season long, you can also
mix in annuals to get more color all season. Perennials have a
few types regular perennials from seed, premium hybrid perennials
from cuttings and bulbs. Premium perennials have unusual colors,
more blooms and fuller plants. |

Perennials
need to be planted in well drained soil and incorporate organic
matter in like pine bark mulch, soil conditioner or compost, make
sure it is free from weeds since perennials will be there for
years it will be difficult to get rid of weeds once established,
at this point you can also incorporate fetilizer for perennials
(slow release works best). Now you are ready to plant, keep in
mind that perennials multiply and spread so leave enough room
for your plants grow over time. Now water watch them grow and
enjoy. |
