Hardy Perennial Flower 
Hardy perennials appeal mostly to people who have not the time to bother 
with plants that have to be reset every Spring. Hardy plants will increase 
in beauty each year. Most all perennial seeds planted in the Spring bloom 
the following year. Seeds planted in August will give excellent results and 
will bloom the next season.
