Perennials: The basis for a colorful and sustainable garden

Perennials are a great choice for gardeners who want to enjoy colorful blooms year after year without having to replant them each season. These plants return year after year and create a vibrant and full garden. In this blog, you will discover the benefits of perennials, some popular varieties, and get tips on how to keep your perennials as healthy and colorful as possible.

Why choose perennials?

Perennials are sustainable and cost-effective because they last for several years. These plants return each spring, often bigger and fuller than the year before, making them a solid foundation for any garden. They also come in a wide variety of colours, shapes and flowering periods, making them ideal for adding colour to your garden all season long.

Popular perennials

• Lupine : Lupine has beautiful, cone-shaped flowers in vibrant colors. This plant blooms in early summer and attracts bees and butterflies.

• Sage : Sage is a fragrant, easy-care plant with purple flowers. It is drought-resistant and needs little care, ideal for sunny spots.

• Columbine : Columbine blooms early in the season and has delicate, bell-shaped flowers. This plant does well in shade and is perfect for borders and woodland gardens.

• Larkspur : This plant has tall, stately flower spikes and blooms in mid-summer. Larkspur is great as a background plant and adds height to borders.

Tips for caring for perennials

• Give them space : Perennials tend to grow larger each year, so give them plenty of room to develop.

• Ground Cover : Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants in early spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Prune after flowering : Some perennials will rebloom if you prune them after the first flowering. This also helps keep the plant healthy and compact.
