Muddy Boots Top 10: Perennial Plants
Perennials 30.4.24
With Elisabeth busy with garden and house renovations this week, we have decided to replay one of our listeners favorite episodes.
Perennials. Elisabeth thinks these are a “must have” in every garden.
What is a perennial? A plant that persists for several years producing stems and flowers and dying back (or becoming dormant) in Winter. Herbaceous perennials completely die back in Winter (like a peony for example).
Perennials often have long flowering periods. Cut back before the Autumn Equinox for another flush of flowers. Many perennials are Mediterranean and drought tolerant but there are a huge variety of plants with differing requirements.
Numerous online retailers include Woodside Perennials, Woodbridge Perennials, Antique Perennials, Treasured Perennials
