Many of our best-loved flowers are perennials that spring up fresh year after year.
The term "perennial" means a plant that comes up year after year and in most cases dies down to a dormant root system each year, leaving only lifeless stems.

This is critical because you don't want your perennial garden to be bare without any flowers in it. 2nd is to choose what color flowers you would like to have in your perennial garden. And finally to find out what the size the perennials flowers will grow to at its peak, this is so you know where to place your flowers correctly in your garden. If you use these 3 items, when choosing your perennials flowers, your perennial garden should turn out correctly.
The one reason most people enjoy planting perennial gardens, is once you get the plant germinated in the ground you won't have to worry about replanting it for a while.
