Perennials

Perennials are a wonderful addition to any garden, providing lasting beauty and ecosystem health year after year. 

One of the remarkable aspects of perennials is their ability to come back each year. This means that once established, they require less maintenance than annual plants, making them a convenient and sustainable choice for gardeners. With their diverse growth habits and foliage textures, perennials can add depth and interest to your garden. From spiky grass-like leaves to broad and lush foliage, each perennial brings its own unique charm and personality to the landscape. Perennials are not only prized for their visual appeal but also for their role in supporting pollinators and other beneficial insects. Their nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, creating a vibrant ecosystem within your garden.
