- Perennials is a term that describes a plant that comes back every spring. Other flowers that you plant only in the summer and you have to replant every year are annuals, but perennials will come up again and again each year.
- Perennials range from low growing plants to tall growing plants, from those that produce colorful flowers to those that provide visual pleasure with glowing seed heads, such as those exhibited by some ornamental grasses. The perennial garden can contain plants that flower, plants with colorful leaves and foliage, and low growing ground covers for that especially shady spot.

- We offer an extensive list of perennials for Zone 5/6; which need to survive harsh winters and thrive in hot summers. This zone encompasses the area where the last frost is May 15 and the first frost is October 15.
- We also provide general bloom times for each plant genre. The bloom categories are as follows: Spring, Late Spring/ Early summer, Summer, Summer/Fall. Actual bloom times can vary depending on your zone and seasonal conditions and many plants continue to bloom sporadically through the season.
A small investment in a perennial garden will bear returns year after year for you and your family to enjoy.
