Perennial Plants
Perennial plants, those that come back year after year, can be used to create colorful gardens throughout the early spring through fall season. Some varieties thrive in full sun, while others prefer part to full shade.
Some full sun varieties such as Cranesbill (Hardy Geranium) and Platycodon (Balloon Flower), give long lasting color all season. New varieties of coneflower (Echinacea) called 'Mac N Cheese' and 'Tomato Soup' have "deliciously" vibrant colors! A dwarf variety of butterfly bush (Buddleia), 'Lo and Behold', displays beautiful blue flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Some of the more popular part shade perennials such as Heuchera (Coral Bells) and a plethora of Hosta varieties will provide season long color with their foliage.
An added bonus to a majority of perennials is their ability to be divided and planted in other areas of your garden or shared with neighbors and friends. They can be planted spring, summer, or fall, but are best divided during the spring season.
