Perennials

Perennials will return year after year after year.

Most will start to grow in the spring, flower throughout the summer and gradually fade in autumn remaining dormant until the following spring where the cycle begins again.

Some will completely disappear underground and some will retain leaves through winter and some will keep some of their leaves all year round.

They are set apart from annuals which live for just one season and from biennials which usually flower in their second year then only last for one flowering season.

They are mainly hardy, usually flowering until the first frosts. Some will tolerate frosts better than others and continue for a few weeks more until they succumb to the more severe frosts of winter.

They come with all different leaf shapes, sizes, forms and textures. The variations are endless.

Their flowers come in an abundance of colours, sizes and shades. Rich in shape and form. Their flowers will dazzle and amaze you.

You can choose from hundreds of different types and fill your borders, beds, patio pots and tubs, window boxes, troughs, pouches and window boxes with a riot of colours, shapes and sizes.

They will give you years of enjoyment and pleasure with very little attention and effort needed from you once they are established in your garden.

And propagating them is easy. From simple division to easy cuttings or simple seed sowing.
