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 if it is sown early, although two seasons are usually 
required. Perennials are most important flowers in the garden. With proper 
selection they can be had in bloom from early in the spring until late in the 
fall, beginning with the lovely, dainty Rainbow Rock Cress (Aubrietia), Golden 
Alyssum, Siberian Wallflower, Columbine and many others, ending the season 
with the fall Chrysanthemums. Cultural directions are given on every bag. 
The Burpee leaflet, “Perennials from Seed” will be sent free upon request. 
Average heights and blooming season are given in the descriptions for 
each class; some variation is natural in different localities.
