Introduction to Perennials

 Perennials are plants that live for more than two years, offering enduring beauty to gardens as they return each season. Known for their resilience and variety, perennials are a staple for gardeners seeking lasting and low-maintenance floral displays. 


Benefits of Growing Perennials

  • Longevity: Once established, perennials return each year, reducing the need for replanting.
  • Diversity: Available in a multitude of colours, shapes, and sizes to suit any garden design.
  • Low Maintenance: Generally require less care than annuals, making them ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners.
  • Environmental Support: Many perennials attract pollinators, supporting local ecosystems.
