Plant Type: Perennial

Perennials are plants that live for more than two years, returning year after year from their root systems. While the top growth of herbaceous perennials dies back to the ground in winter, the roots remain alive and send up new growth each spring. Evergreen perennials, on the other hand, retain their foliage throughout the year. Perennials form the foundation of many flower beds and borders, offering a vast diversity of colors, textures, heights, and bloom times. They are a great investment for gardeners seeking long-term beauty and structure. Understanding their light preferences, soil needs, and mature size will help you create a stunning and enduring perennial garden.
