Perennials

Perennials form the backbone of any garden, earning their name from their remarkable ability to return year after year, unlike annuals that complete their life cycle in a single season. This predictable growth pattern gives gardeners a reliable framework to build upon, as these plants maintain consistent shapes and sizes through the seasons.

The diversity within perennials is extraordinary. Towering delphiniums create dramatic focal points, while native grasses add movement and texture. Some perennials burst with color, blanketing entire areas in blooms, while others play quieter supporting roles with interesting foliage and form. These adaptable plants flourish in various settings—whether filling expansive garden beds, anchoring water-wise rock gardens, or thriving in container plantings on a patio.

While most perennials are celebrated for their flowers, many earn their place in the garden through striking foliage, distinctive seed heads, or other ornamental qualities that provide interest throughout the growing season.
