Perennial Flower Seeds 
Perennial Flowers are the hardy, permanent ones that live for years. Plants 
grow to the flowering stage each year and die down again to the roots, which 
remain alive but dormant until the next season. Some perennials will flower 
the first year from seed sown early, although two seasons are usually required. 
Perennials are most important flowers in the garden. With proper selection 
tlfey can be had in bloom from early in the spring until late in the fall, beginning 
with the lovely Rainbow Rock Cress (Aubrietia), Golden Alyssum, Siberian 
Wallflower, Columbine and many others, ending the season with the fall 
Chrysanthemums. 
Average heights and blooming season are given in the descriptions 
for each class; some variation is natural in diSerent localities.
