What is the growth habit of perennials?
Perennial plants may remain dormant for long periods and then recommence growth and reproduction when the environment is more suitable, while most annual plants complete their life cycle during one growing period, and biennials have two growing periods. Perennials have a longer lifespan than annuals and may bloom for several weeks or months each year. Lavender, jasmine, wisteria, peonies, and ornamental grasses are popular perennial choices for gardens, providing consistent beauty year after year.
What is the best month to plant perennials?
Fall is the BEST time to plant Perennials (about 4-6 weeks before your Average First Fall Frost), but they can also be planted in the spring. Perennials are best planted in spring (March to early May) or autumn (late September to October), while the ground is moist.
