11 Flowering Perennials for your Garden

 

Perennials are the foundation of great garden design. They bring a vibrant display of colours, contrast, and texture your space. By mixing foliage plants with flowering plants, you’ll have an eye-catching garden from spring to fall.

While annuals add quick colour for the season, they only last one year. On the other hand, perennials return year after year, helping you make the most of your gardening budget.

 

Pollinators rely on nectar-rich foods; you can help them by planting flowering perennials in your outdoor space. Bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects will appreciate visiting your garden if you grow a blend of fragrances, colours, and heights for them to enjoy.
