Perennials are plants that live year after year. Most garden flowers are herbaceous perennials. This means the tops of the plants – the leaves, stems, and flowers – die back to the ground each fall with the first frost or freeze. The roots persist through the winter and every spring, new plant tops arise.
It is best to select plants with a purpose in mind, such as edging plants, accents for evergreens, masses of color, rock garden specimens, etc. With specific purposes in mind, you can choose perennials by considering their characteristics and deciding which plants best meet your requirements. With careful planning, a perennial flowerbed will change colors, as one type of plant finishes and another variety begins to bloom. By combining perennials with annuals, a continuous colorful show can be provided in your garden.
