What is a Perennial?

A hardy perennial is a garden staple that will come back year after year, making it a fantastic investment for any outdoor space. While their foliage may die down in winter, they’re not gone for good! Around March, fresh stems will start to emerge from the ground, and as the weather warms up, you’ll be greeted by a larger, healthier plant, often bursting with flowers by summer.

September and October are ideal times to plant perennials. The soil is still warm enough for them to establish strong roots before winter sets in. This gives them the best start for when spring comes, so they can grow back and flourish with minimal effort next year!

Some of the popular perennials to consider planting now include:

  • Lavender: For its fragrant flowers and evergreen foliage
  • Rudbeckia: With its bright yellow, daisy-like blooms
  • Echinacea: Known for its large, vibrant flowers that attract pollinators
