PERENNIALS FOR FALL SOWING 
ACHILLEA THE PEARL 
Perennials are the hardy permanent flowers that live 
for years and usually improve in beauty for a number of 
seasons. In frost-free sections, seeds may be sown almost 
any time during the year; in mild climates where winters are 
not too severe seeds may be sown in the fall, the earlier the 
better, so that plants will be of good size before freezing 
weather sets in. After the ground is frozen hard, cover the 
bed with a light mulch of straw to prevent the plants from 
being heaved out by alternate freezings and thawings.
