Types of Perennials
Perennials for Sun
Sunny spots love showstoppers like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and yarrow. These heat-loving plants thrive in full sunlight and reward you with long-lasting blooms, upright growth, and colors that attract pollinators all summer long.
Perennials for Shade
Hostas, astilbes, and ferns bring quiet charm to shaded areas with lush foliage and soft textures. These plants are perfect for under trees, along the north side of your home, or nestled into woodland beds where color and texture can still thrive.
Layered Garden Beds
Incorporating perennials in your garden design creates a layered effect that adds depth and visual interest, with taller plants at the back, medium varieties in the center, and low-growing groundcovers in front for a harmonious display.
Pollinator Paradise
Annuals give you the boldest blooms for the longest stretch of the season. Easy to plant, quick to thrive, and endlessly customizable — colorful favorites are a staple for gardeners who want maximum impact with minimal wait.
Mix shrubs & annuals
Enhance your garden's beauty by combining perennials, shrubs, and vibrant annuals for a captivating display that delights from spring to fall. Perennials offer structure, while shrubs add depth, and annuals introduce lively, ever-changing colors for a stunning garden tapestry.
Planting & Care Tips
- Planting: Choose well-drained soil and a location that matches your plant’s light needs. Dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and just as deep. Water thoroughly and mulch to retain moisture.
- Watering:Â Water deeply after planting. Once established, most perennials need less frequent watering. Morning watering is best to reduce disease risk and support strong roots.
- Deadheading & Pruning: Remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In fall, trim back dead stems unless you’re leaving seed heads for winter interest or wildlife.
- Dividing:Â Most perennials benefit from being divided every few years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. Spring and fall are the best times to do this.
