Perennials

It's probably a given that 80% of the browsers who land here will know what they are looking for and will have no problem searching through the 62 genus varieties shown below. For the other 20% of you, this page and the ones linked to it can provide you with an almost overwhelming amount of information.  Each linked page will start you with an overview of that plant's general characteristics. Perennials, of course unlike Annuals are the flowering plants that come back in your garden year after year without having to re-plant.  However, be careful.  Too many first time gardeners (and some experienced ones) make the mistake of planting perennials too close together.  They look great for the first year or two and then before you know it, a jungle has developed in what was once a beautiful little garden spot.  We feature all 1 gallon or larger pots and each year we are expanding our offering of Proven Winner varieties.  So go ahead and browse. But, grab a pencil and paper first, you might just find so many "got to have" perennials, you won't be able to remember them all.

Perennials are listed by alphabetical order in both common name and botanical name, so whether you know it as daylily or hemerocallis you should be able to scroll directly to your choice.
