Perennial flowers are flowers which live for more than one season. There is such a large selection of perennials available that the novice flower gardener can easily become confused. Then throw in hardiness zones, light requirements, flower height and other variables and it seems much too confusing to grasp.

One thing to remember when growing perennials in the garden is to not make it harder than it needs to be. Most modern perennial flowers are pretty forgiving, so conditions usually don’t need to be exacting for the plant to grow. If conditions are not suitable, the plant can always be moved to a more congenial spot.

You can find perennial flowers for sun or shade, dry or wet, rich soil or poor soil. There are tall ones, short ones, some for cutting and some to dry for winter bouquets. Some perennials are suitable for ground covers, some for specimen plantings. Others will provide fragrance as well as beauty. There will surely be a perennial flower which suits your needs.
