Perennials flowers and plants create a special place in your garden, they have unique texture and colors
of foliage, and interestingly beautiful flowers.
Most perennials will come back for many years spreading along the way. Although they won't bloom all season
long, they will reward you with unique blossoms from 2 to 4 weeks every year.
 Some perennials can grow tall
for a dramatic backdrop, and others can grow so low to the ground you can walk on them.
It's best to stagger the blooming season so you can have some color all season. For example, violas will
bloom first sign of spring, Peonies bloom mid May, and perennial Hibiscus is a late season bloomer.
Most spreading perennials can be separated in the early spring when the first signs of growth appear, but
check with your Dan Schantz Perennial specialist to find out how and when to separate your specific variety.
When purchasing perennials, keep in mind that this is the first year of growth so they may be small, not
blooming or perhaps not very attractive at the moment but all that will change dramatically next year for
sure!
When planting perennials, take into consideration how large it will get and allow it plenty of space to grow.
Fill in empty spots with annuals until perennials grow to potential. Water your newly planted garden often
to get the roots established. Applying mulch will help keep moisture in.
