Best perennials for your garden are the ones that stay year round. There are many types of flowers that can be planted as perennials in your flower garden, but you want to choose those that will grow for the longest time possible. Here are a few tips to help you decide what you need to consider when it comes to choosing and planting your best perennial.

*Perennials that are native to your area are going to be your best choices. Not only do they grow back every year, they are the most common type of plant you will find growing in gardens across North America. If your flower garden is in a climate that does not change much from year to year, these would be the best perennials you can choose. Many times, you may not even have to change your bulbs such as poinsettia, unless you move to a different part of the world or in some cases even get rid of the existing plants.

*Perennial flowering plants are great because they are very versatile. A lot of them bloom at different times of the year, such as daffodils, coltsfoot, and blue bells just to name a few. A lot of times, you won’t even realize you have them growing in your flower garden until you go to put out the pollen. This is great because if you love the smell of your perennial flowering plants, but can’t bring them into the flowerbed, they will still bloom year around!

*Perennial flowers that come up close to the ground are great too. If you want to get a shot of pink daisies or honeysuckle right up against your flower garden wall, these will work very well. They also make a great border against woody and sunny walls. You can even plant bellflower in such a place because they bloom fairly early in the year and stay pretty all year long.

*Perennial herbs such as thyme, oregano, sage, chickweed and tarragon are very hardy perennials that don’t require a lot of tending to. In fact, they don’t need any watering at all! The chives will grow and bloom all year round if you plant them correctly. If you want, you can use a hydrometer to tell whether your soil is too dry or if it needs more water.

* Plants like poppies, hyacinths, chickweed, and sweet peas are ideal for any kind of climate and are very hardy perennials. Most of them will do quite well in most kinds of flower garden soil, although there are some that do better in acidic soils. These flowers are beautiful to look at and you’ll be able to provide them with plenty of flowers throughout the year. And they’re absolutely stunning with the fall colors of the leaves of Indian lilies.

* Although annuals aren’t technically perennials, there are several varieties of annuals that would be good candidates for perennial flowers in your flower garden. Roses, freesias, and tulips are among the best options for annuals. Be careful not to let mulch get too close to these plants, however. As with annuals, you can easily prune these plants at the right time of the year to shape them into perfect perennial flowers. Just remember, though, that the best seasons to plant them are the spring and autumn months.

* If you’re starting a flower garden from scratch, you might be overwhelmed with the variety of perennial flowers you can choose from. However, even if you’re new to flower gardens, you should learn to select only two or three perennial flowers for your flower garden. This will give your flower garden the chance to grow slowly and become a year-round attraction. In addition, you’ll be able to provide your visitors with color every season!
