Hardy Perennial and Biennial Flower Seeds

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.
