The Best Perennials For Your Garden

Perennial flowers have many uses in nature. They provide food and shelter for butterflies, birds, bees and a host of other insects and animals. Create a beautiful habitat in your garden that supports wildlife at all stages of life, from spring to fall.

The key in choosing which plants are best for your garden depends on the sun exposure your garden and landscape gets.

For an all day sunny location, six hours of sun or more, you want to choose perennials that thrive in the sun. There are a plethora of sun-loving plants to choose from that will give your garden a pop of color, year after year such as Black-Eyed Susan, Milkweed, Clematis, Coneflower, Daylily, Lavender and Verbena.

For shadier spots in the garden, typically under three to four hours of sun, you have great options that will perform beautifully and give your shade garden color and life such as Astilbe, Fern, Hosta, Creeping Phlox, Hellebore, Coral Bells, Columbine and Bleeding Hearts.
