Are you wondering what perennials<\/a> are and how they differ from biennials or even annuals? Where does that leave woody perennials? <\/span>You\u2019re not alone!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plants are classified into various groups to describe their lifecycle and it can get confusing. <\/span>The most commonly known plant groups are evergreens, perennials, biennials and annuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evergreens \u2013 well it\u2019s pretty obvious! They are green all year round they don\u2019t drop their leaves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Biennials are plants sown in the summer that germinate and grow a little but flower the next year (wallflowers\/sweet williams). Annuals are plants that germinate, flower and die in one year.<\/span><\/p>\n

So that leaves perennials.\u00a0<\/span>\u2018Perennial\u2019 describes a plant that lives for two or more years, so it describes trees<\/a> and shrubs<\/a> too, but in general gardeners mean the plants that die back and regrow each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perennials can be deciduous, dying down to the roots every year, or evergreen in which case they keep their leaves before growing more leaves and flowers the following year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you hear about \u2018woody perennials\u2019 that\u2019s shrubs or plants with a hard wood structure. They don\u2019t die back each year, but they do flower each year. Herbaceous perennials are the ones without a woody structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clear as mud!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Do Perennials Actually Do?<\/b><\/p>\n

Woody, herbaceous or evergreen, whatever the classification, perennials bring colour, shape and form from spring to autumn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no sowing, germination, pricking out or growing on. A few perennials need trimming or the Chelsea chop to look their best, but in general they get on with the business of growing with little interference year after year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing the right perennials means the garden is filled with colour from early spring to late autumn. After that, the evergreens take over with the exception of a few winter perennials like hellebore<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re stuck for winter flowers try a witch hazel shrub<\/a> \u2013 we like red flowered <\/span>Diane<\/span><\/a> or reliable viburnum<\/a>. We <\/span>have a large viburnum selection<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to perennials! <\/span>Here\u2019s our top recommendations for spring to autumn gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Echinacea

Echinacea or Coneflower are striking examples of flowering perennials.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Spring<\/b><\/p>\n

Bulbs. Yes, bulbs are perennials that fill a border or container. Try crocus and daffs for early spring colour. Plant them in autumn for a spring display and leave them in place forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start off the year with a winter to early spring flowering perennial hellebore. <\/span>Double Ellen White<\/span><\/a> is a clean, bright bloom that feeds the early waking pollinators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Late spring to early summer calls for a <\/span>Montana clematis<\/span><\/a>, a perennial climbing vine<\/a> or a <\/span>Hosta<\/span><\/a> (why not both?). Hostas are notable for thick beautiful foliage and pretty flowers in late spring through to early autumn – there\u2019s always something to look at.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Clematis

\u00a0<\/span>Summer\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Summer is the time that lots of perennials open their flowers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not try perennial achillea? We like this <\/span>bright yellow<\/span><\/a> one. <\/span>Rudbeckia<\/span><\/a> and Coneflowers – <\/span>echinacea<\/span><\/a> are a magnet for butterflies and other pollinators. The many diverse varieties of <\/span>Salvia<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> are good choices too.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For lots of texture and blooms try dry-loving <\/span>Shrubby Germander<\/span><\/a>, and for a pop of outstandingly pretty flowers it\u2019s hard to beat RHS AGM<\/a> winner <\/span>Agapanthus Twister<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russian Sage Little Spire<\/span><\/a> is a summer stunner that bees can\u2019t get enough of. It\u2019ll reach about 40 cms tall and likes a dry sunny spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an evergreen perennial called <\/span>Phlox Candy Stripe<\/span><\/a> . This is a low-growing mat-forming plant that likes coastal areas. It has evergreen leaves that are hidden by a summertime explosion of pink and white striped flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we can\u2019t talk about summer bloomers without mentioning lavender.\u00a0<\/span>Lavender has grown here in the UK for centuries. It was brought over by the Romans. What have they ever done for us? Well \u2013 they brought <\/span>Lavendula Angustifolia<\/span><\/a> a really tough woody perennial that<\/span> can survive if the roots are dry in winter and the dead flowers are clipped back to increase air circulation.\u00a0 <\/span>Remember not to clip into the woody structure as that doesn\u2019t regenerate. Only trim back the new growth please.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Salvias

Salvias can add a host of colour to your summer garden.<\/p><\/div>\n

Autumn<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re putting <\/span>hardy geranium<\/span> Psilostemon Dragon Heart<\/span><\/a> in an autumn slot, but this tough pink flowering perennial flowers in spring, summer and autumn. <\/span>It looks good beneath roses or tall shrubs and covers the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also <\/span>Kniphofia Uvaria<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>known as\u00a0Red Hot Poker\u00a0or\u00a0Torch Lily, that blooms in late summer into autumn blasting a jolt of colour into the border.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Need Perennials<\/b><\/p>\n

Perennials are good value. Pay once and they grow back each year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are also easy to divide. Autumn is usually the best time to dig them up, split them in half with a sharp spade, and replant both halves.\u00a0 <\/span>The new growth will often readily take as a cutting too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the best reason to buy perennials is because they are the plants that turn a winter garden into a summer garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They pop up often out of no-where to surprise you, and fill the space with friendly colour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A year-round structure of evergreen shrubs, with spring to autumn flowering perennials and a few spring time bulbs creates a hardworking, spectacular garden in the border or a container on your balcony<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth getting to know perennials. They are the stars of a spring to autumn garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
