Perennials bring in the spring color
like no other plants and can last for months and months and sometimes
bloom more than once. These are great options for sunny areas of the
yard.
- Alstromeria- comes in a varity of colors. It is great for clipping and putting in vases and lasts for up to two weeks.
- Catmint- love the purple flowers that provide a cottage garden feel. It is great contrast with white roses
- Cornflowers- it is a striking looking flower to enjoy
- Coreopsis- daisy like flower in lots of great colors
- Forget Me Nots- classic with petite flowers.
- Gaura- a great white punch for the garden and the butterflies love it.
- Rudebeckia- summer color with its “sun flower like” flower
- Heuchera- it seems like every year they are coming out with a new variety. They are known for their interesting leaves. I like to use them in containers with other plants too.
- Lavender- lots of great varieties. One of my favorite classic looking french lavenders that doesn’t get so big and woody is the Hicote Lavender.
- Jerusalem Sage- this is a new favorite of mine. The yellow flower is very cool looking and the foliage looks good year around.
- Yarrow- they have been expanding the flower color options. The most common one is yellow in color
- Penstomen- love this plant and blooms for months and usually twice in the season. There are lots of colors to choose from especially in the pinks and purples
- Salvia- lots of varieties and colors to choose from for your garden and very low maintenance.
