About Perennials
Perennials are plants that bloom year after year. Unlike annuals, which must be replanted each year, perennials, when taken care of properly, can sometimes last decades in a garden. Perennials are usually harder to care for than annuals, but make up for this in the long run.
There are many advantages to growing perennials. Some perennial plants will only thrive if they are dug up every few years to divide the root system. In this way, the one original plant will become several plants that can be shared or replanted.
Another advantage to a garden of perennials is that the garden is dynamic. Perennials usually bloom for only about one to six weeks, unlike annuals, which bloom for a long time. By selecting plants with different bloom times, a garden will change its look, depending on which flowers are in bloom.
Unfortunately, unlike annuals, perennials do not usually bloom their first season. This is due to the plant using its energy to on the root system, ensuring that it will live through the winter months. Many garden centers will stock perennials that have already grown for a season or two, and these should bloom in the first season.
