What is a perennial garden?
A perennial garden has plants installed that are hardy to the zone in which they are planted and unlike annual gardens, do not need to be re-planted every year. Some perennials are considered ‘tender’ perennials and will survive only until a harsh winter kills them off. When initially installing a perennial garden it’s realistic to expect a 10% loss the first year. Those perennials that survive first winter go on to mature and multiply.
