Why Plant Perennials?
Plant once, enjoy for years—that’s the perennial promise. These garden mainstays are an investment in beauty and sustainability, asking for little but giving back in abundance. Once established, they sip water sparingly, require minimal fuss, and bloom across multiple seasons with colorful flowers, lush leaves, and strong silhouettes. Best of all? Perennial flowers welcome butterflies, birds, and a flurry of pollinators, transforming your garden into a living, breathing habitat. Whether you’re planting for wildlife, color, or the sheer joy of it, perennials deliver long-term charm and ecological rewards. Explore collections like fragant perennials, bird-attracting, and butterfly-friendly perennials to turn your garden into a sanctuary of fluttering wings and happy buzz.

When & Where to Plant Perennials
Timing and location are the secret ingredients to perennial success. Most perennials prefer to settle in during the cooler, gentler seasons of spring or fall—when the soil is warm, but the sun isn’t too fierce—giving their roots a chance to stretch out before summer sizzles or winter bites.
Choose your planting spot based on each plant’s sun and soil preferences. Some bask in Full Sun, soaking up every golden ray, while others are made for the dappled calm of Shade. Well-drained soil is a must—nobody likes wet feet, especially perennials. And don’t forget to give them room to grow! Spacing plants based on their mature size helps ensure strong roots, happy blooms, and breezy airflow.
