Perennials are long-lived plants, providing yearly displays of flowers, berries and seeds between the months of spring and autumn. Choose from woody perennials such as lavender, cistus and rosemary, evergreen types such as bergenia and some forms of agapanthus, to herbaceous perennials like delphinium and cranesbill geraniums, which die back to the ground each autumn and emerge again in spring. Looking for low-maintenance or fast-growing perennials? We’ve have everything you need. You’ll also learn how to plant, prune and cut back perennials, when to leave plants for wildlife and the best types to grow for bees.
