Perennial Plants

Perennials are plants that return year after year from their roots. That makes them one of the most dependable choices for any garden. Some live for just a couple of seasons, while others thrive for many years. Most also grow fuller and more established with every passing season. That long-term reliability is what makes perennial plants such a smart foundation for garden beds, borders, and landscapes.

Most perennials bloom for a defined window during the growing season. However, many rebloom if you trim them back after their first flush. That gives you a second round of color later in the season. Because hardiness varies by variety, always choose varieties suited to your USDA hardiness zone. That's what ensures they come back reliably year after year.
