The better perennials

Perennials are by far the best type of flower and plant to place in your garden or landscape area. They will save you money each year instead of having to buy new flowers each season.  Additionally, most of them are easy to care for and maintain.  Here are some great choices for perennials that you should consider adding to your garden or landscape.  The Blanket Flower is a great choice.  It is very heat tolerant and drought resistant and will give you color for the entire spring through the summer. They will bloom in reds and golds with three inch blooms that are similarly looking to that of a daisy.  Garden Phlox is another great choice.  It is a wonderful bordering plant and can grow up to four feet tall. The flowers this plant produces are fragrant and will bloom from the summer months of the year all the way into the fall.  It is also great to act as a ground cover in some areas.  Russian Sage is also great.  It is a larger perennial that is perfect for larger landscapes.  It will be about five feet tall and about three feet wide and will produce beautiful blue blooms during the summer months of the year.  They love lots of sunlight and are very tolerant of heat.  They are also drought resistant and will be breathtaking in your landscape.  Peonies are also beautiful choices.  They produce very fragrant and lovely blooms during spring through the fall.


They can grow anywhere from two to four feet and grow in clusters to form a shrub-like appearance.  Irises are another great choice.  They have a shorter blooming period but will take your breath away. They grow in any color one could imagine and will multiply each year when they return.  Daylilies are also beautiful and even though their blooms only last one day, they bloom all spring and summer long.  They are also low maintenance and can grow in a variety of conditions.  Try one of these perennials in your garden today!
