Perennials are perennial plants. They overwinter in the ground and grow again every spring. Perennials are characterized by very great diversity. Among them we will meet
both species with a few centimeters in height and those that reach a height of up to 2 meters. We usually grow perennials in nurseries, individually or in groups. They are perfect for rocky
gardens or heathers (Calluna) and rhododendrons (Rhododendron).
Species that we can use instead of a lawn deserve special attention.
For example: Viola (Violet),
Bergenia (Bedan), Asarum (Hoofedfoot), Astilbe (Astilbe), Aruncus (Volzhanka), Galium (Bedstraw), or Alchemilla mollis (Soft Cuff). Perennials are best planted in the spring, but
we can also plant them between August and October, taking into account that if we plant in late autumn, we must cover them for the winter. Flowers that have already bloomed should be removed, thanks
which will cause perennials to bloom longer and produce more flowers or repeat blooms. In particular, this applies to species such as: Aquilegia (Aquilegia), Salvia (Sage), Dianthus (Carnation),
Campanula, Hemerocallis, Echinacea, Achillea, Delphinium, or Phlox.
It is worth noting that not all perennials in
In our climate, they are able to overwinter in the ground. Low temperatures kill them. It is worth noting that, despite their sensitivity to frost, many types of perennials can be grown in the garden, remembering
only to dig up the underground part of this plant and store it in a room protected from frost. For plants grown this way we include: Dahlia, Crocosmia,
Galtonia, Gladiolus, Tigridia, Canna or also Begonia. Perennials that overwinter in the ground include numerous plant species without which
you cannot imagine any garden.
Benefits of perennial plants
There is an opinion that annual garden flowers are brighter and more abundantly blooming than perennials.
Even if this is the case, this is probably their only advantage - they bloom quickly and we have to sow them again next year. And perennials, perennial flowers, compared to annuals,
have a number of advantages and benefits:
- the most important thing is that perennials are grown in one place for several years and do not require annual renewal of crops;
- most plants of this
species bloom during the warm season from May to September, and some even before the onset of frost;
- perennials are quite resistant to diseases, pests, drought and frost Iris (Iris),
