PERENNIALS

Perennial plants are those you can plant once and they’ll grace your garden in their season of interest, year after year. Herbaceous perennials are those that will appear to die back to the ground, often times in the fall, and leave just a short stub of growth barely emerging above the soil line. When spring hits in the next year, new leaves and flower buds begin to grow again. There is great diversity in perennials and we’re here to help you navigate all the options.
