Perennials

Perennials encompass a widely varying group of non-woody plants that share one thing in common: they live for over two years, and usually much longer.

Some perennials, such as Hostas and Peonies, die down to the ground at the end of each growing season, then reappear in spring. (They are often referred to as “herbaceous.”)

Other perennials, like Heuchera, weather winter in small tufts, conserving energy so that they’re ready to explode with growth in spring.

The last type of perennial is evergreen with foliage that persists fairly unchanged throughout winter. Offering incredible variety, perennials come in many forms and include blubs, groundcovers and grasses in their number.
