Burpee’s PERENNIAL FLOWERS 
Perennial Flowers are the hardy, permanent ones that live for years. Two seasons are usually required for the plants to 
reach blooming stage, although some varieties will flower the first year if seed is sown early. Full cultural directions on 
every bag. The Burpee leaflet, “Perennials from Seed," sent Free upon request.
