Perennials have long been a staple of the garden, and their popularity certainly shows no sign of waning. Certainly the idea of planting once and enjoying season after season of beautiful blooms is an attractive one, and this helps to explain some of the appeal of gardening with perennials.
Other explanations include the seemingly endless variety of perennials, there many shapes, and their amazing variety of colors. In addition, there are perennials for every possible use in the garden and the landscape, from lush landscape plants to the most attractive flowers.
In addition, perennials are generally very easy flowers to work with, and there demands on the gardener tend to be quite minimal. Apart from the basics of good soil, sufficient water and abundant sunshine, most perennials need little in order to thrive and survive for many seasons.
While the individual life spans of perennials varies quite a bit according to variety, some varieties have been known to last for decades. The staff at your local garden center or nursery will be able to advise you on the longevity you can expect from each variety of perennial you choose.
Of course in order for these plants to survive for decades, they must get off to a healthy start. There are a number of things the gardener can do to ensure the plants are as healthy as vibrant as possible, beginning with selecting only the healthiest and most robust plants.
Another smart strategy is to choose those perennials that have been bred to be disease resistant. There are a number of excellent disease resistant perennials on the market, and using these types can provide a number of important benefits.
Checking the plants often after they have been planted is a good practice as well. The vigilant gardener will always be on the lookout for signs of disease or insect infestation. Nipping these common problems in the bud, before they have a chance to spread, is one of the secrets to a healthy and successful garden.
