Perennial: A plant that lives for over two years, typically regrowing each spring from its established root system.
Perennials are the gift that keeps on giving in the garden. Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in one year, perennials return year after year, adding beauty and structure to your landscape. They’re the backbone of many gardens, providing a consistent presence and reducing the need for replanting each spring.
Think of perennials as the long-term residents of your garden. They might die back to the ground in the winter, but their roots remain alive, ready to send up new growth when the weather warms up. Some popular perennials include flowers like daylilies, coneflowers, and hostas, as well as herbs like lavender, rosemary, and sage. Planting various perennials with different bloom times can ensure a continuous display of color throughout the growing season.
