Perennial Flower Gardening

Perennial flowers are flowers which live for more than one season. There is such a large selection of perennials available that the novice flower gardener can easily become confused. Then throw in hardiness zones, light requirements, flower height and other variables and it seems much too confusing to grasp.

One thing to remember when growing perennials is to not make it harder than it needs to be. Most modern perennials are pretty forgiving, so conditions usually don’t need to be exacting for the plant to grow. If conditions are not suitable, the plant can always be moved to a more congenial spot.

A perennial flower garden can be a thing of beauty year round, even in winter, if a wide variety of flowers are grown in it. The show starts early with perennial candytuft (iberis), phlox, and peonies. The color continues into the fall with asters and chrysanthemums. Perennial grasses can give structure and interest to the winter garden.

You can find perennial flowers for sun or shade, dry or wet, rich soil or poor soil. There are tall ones, short ones, some for cutting and some to dry for winter bouquets. This web site will attempt to acquaint you with all kinds of perennials, how to grow, and propagate them.

Perennial flower gardening is a very rewarding experience as the gardener becomes familiar with the wide variety of plants available for the modern perennial garden. This rich panoply of plant material seems to grow by leaps and bounds each year as hybridizers work diligently at their tasks. There are always new releases every year added to the old favorites.
