What is a perennial?
A perennial is a plant that will live multiple growing seasons, unlike an annual which grows, sets seed, and dies all in one season. Their flowering time is not typically as long as an annual because the plant must gather enough strength survive the winter. Every perennial on our site should have a recommended hardiness range indicated. Please keep your zone in mind if you want your perennial to last more than one year. Due to so many climate planting zones you can not expect your garden to look like the picture in the magazine if the conditions are not similar.
A perennial is a plant that will live multiple growing seasons, unlike an annual which grows, sets seed, and dies all in one season. Their flowering time is not as long as an annual because the plant must take time out to gather enough strength to overwinter, but the range of flowering times, colors, heights, foliage color, and textures, make for a fascinating plant pallet to work with.
