20 of the Best Perennial Plants and Flowers
24.08.2023 - 14:59 / gardenersworld.com
Perennials are the stalwarts of our garden borders – they provide colourful flowers in the garden, year after year.
What is a perennial plant?Unlike annuals, which live for just one season, perennial plants live for more than two years – their Latin name means ‘through the years’. Strictly speaking, trees and shrubs are perennials, but we tend to refer to perennials as long-lived plants. They mostly flower in spring, summer or autumn, with a handful blooming in winter, and many have attractive foliage, too. Perennials are split into further categories: herbaceous perennials die back to the ground in autumn and regrow in spring – examples include Verbena bonariensis, penstemon and ornamental poppies. Evergreen perennials keep their leaves all year round, such as some varieties of heuchera and hosta. Hardy perennials tolerate low temperatures and can be planted outside all year long, while tender perennials, such as dahlias, need digging up in autumn and storing in a frost-free location.
There are perennials to suit every type of garden, for any aspect or soil type, and they range in size from low-growing herbaceous plants for the front of a border, to medium sized ones for the middle, to giants a couple of metres tall for the back. They establish and grow quickly, with most reaching their full size in a few growing seasons. Many perennials make good cut flowers and the more compact varieties are excellent for growing in pots. Most are flowering plants that are very attractive to pollinators.
