 Perennials are a good choice for any landscape because there is an endless selection, making it possible to find the right plant for the right location. A second reason perennials make a good choice for the landscape is that they offer color at different times of the year. Some plants bloom in the Spring, some bloom in the Summer, and some in the Fall. A perennial garden is at its best when it is full of plants that offer color during different times of the year. One thing to keep in mind when purchasing perennials is the Zone Hardiness. Certain perennials are only true perennials in there specific zone. Most of the perennials that we offer are hardy in our zone, which is zone 5 for Northeast Ohio.Click here to see your specific area
A complete list of the perennials that we will offer this spring along with care information will be updated as they come in. Keep checking in for new additions.
