Introduction

What does the word “perennial” mean to you? To me, it means a plant that I don’t have to worry about replanting every year. In this post, we’ll talk about why perennials make good sense for your garden or lawn and how they can help you maintain a landscape while reducing the amount of work you need to do each year. We won’t go into too much detail, but we will point out some of the unique characteristics of perennials. Then, we’ll discuss how to use perennials in your landscaping plan and when to plant them so they grow properly each season.

What is a Perennial Plant

Let’s get started!

• What is a Perennial Plant?

A perennial plant is a plant that lives for more than two years. Most of the time, they live for several years or even decades. Some examples of perennials include: azaleas, hibiscus and lavender bushes. The common name for these plants is “perennial” because they live for such long periods of time without dying or needing to be replanted.* How to Identify Them

There are many different types of perennials so it can be difficult to tell if one you’re looking at is actually a perennial or an annual (which only lasts 1 year). To help identify them better we’ve created this helpful list below:*How to Care For Them

Perennials need care throughout their lifetime in order to grow properly and stay healthy.*How to Plant Them

Once you know what kind(s) of plants you’d like in your garden, it’s time to start planting them out! The best way we’ve found involves digging holes with a shovel then placing each rootball inside before covering with soil.*HowtoMaintain Them

Why Are Perennials Better than Annuals?

Perennials are better than annuals. Here are five reasons why:

• They’re more resilient. Perennials have deeper roots and can survive through several seasons, so you don’t need to keep replanting them every year. This saves you time and money (not to mention the effort of lugging around bags of soil).
• They’re more sustainable—and as a result, they’re better for the environment too! Perennials grow from their own seeds instead of having to be replanted each season, which means they don’t require as many resources as annuals do; they just keep growing on their own without any help from humans! It’s kind of like how plants grow in nature when left alone without any interference from us humans — except this time it’s happening inside your home instead because climate change has made our planet too hot/cold/dry/wet for anything other than grasses with thick blades that can withstand winds up 200 mph (or whatever). So basically what I’m saying here is that we should all just give up on trying our hand at gardening ever again because nothing will survive outside anymore anyway but it’s still important not to forget about those who do still want something green around them despite everything else going wrong with planet Earth right now.”

Fall Clean Up

After the summer is over, you may need to perform some fall clean up. This will help you prepare your garden for winter and give you a fresh start in spring.

• Remove any dead plants, weeds and debris from the garden area.
• If there are any plants that aren’t perennial (live for more than two years) remove them as well as any plants that are not native or invasive species. These types of plants can cause problems for native species by crowding them out or spreading their seeds into areas where they don’t belong.
• For example: Trees such as lilacs and chokecherries grow well in many parts of North America but not all areas have suitable conditions for these trees so if you live somewhere cold like northern Canada it might be best just leave these particular trees alone because they may die during winter months since they’re not suited living outside our climate zones (temperature ranges).

This blog article has a lot of information about perennial plants.

Perennials are plants that come back year after year. If you’re interested in low maintenance gardening, perennials are the way to go!

They grow for a long time and don’t need to be replanted every year like annuals do. You can plant them once and enjoy their beautiful foliage and flowers for years!

Perennial plants add beauty, color, texture and life to your garden or landscape without needing much care at all (once established). And they’re good for your pocketbook too!

Conclusion

The best thing about perennials is that they don’t stop growing. They just keep getting bigger and better every year. You’ll have to wait until next spring for your annuals, but your perennials will be back before you know it!
