Perennials give a feeling of permanence to any planting. They live 
for years, and grow bigger and more showy with the passing of 
time. They demand very little care for the beauty they give which 
is an advantage for weekend gardeners. 
It’s easy to find a place for perennials, wherever you live. Like 
all other plants, be careful to locate each in the spot that will suit it 
best. Make combinations of kinds and colors that will look well 
together. You will be rewarded with handsome color for weeks in 
the garden and most perennials are excellent for cutting too.
