Perennial and Rock-Garden Plants 
P ERENNIAL PLANTS live for many years, like shrubs and trees, but they do not make woody top-growth and, consequently, 
die to the ground-level each winter, renewing themselves from the roots in the spring. Because they are permanent and do not 
require replanting every year, they make the foundation upon which the flower-garden is built. Well-established clumps of good 
perennials continue to grow and increase in beauty year after year, acquiring a settled, “at home” appearance which contributes much 
to the tranquil beauty of the garden. 
Perennial Plants belong to many different families and differ widely in their habit of growth. Among them are many tall, sturdy, 
branching plants suitable for big, bold masses against the shrubbery or to form broad, ornamental borders where a blaze of summer 
color is desired. On the other hand, there are numerous, low-growing, dwarf, compact, perennial plants suitable for edging, and 
among these are found the vast majority of good rock-garden or alpine plants. These small rock-garden plants are extremely beauti¬ 
ful when placed properly, so that the surrounding rocks set off their beauty. 
The following list contains plants of both kinds in a choice selection. Those suitable for rock-gardens are designated by a star (★).
