Perennials, especially small flowering plants, grow and bloom over the spring and summer and then die back every autumn and winter, then return in the spring from their root-stock rather than seeding themselves as an annual plant does.
To get a beautiful perennial garden all year round it is best to think strategically when planting perennials. Because of different blooming times planning the right flowers can garrantee you a bed thats flourishing thoughout the season.
