Hardy Perennial and Biennial Flower Seeds 
Hardy perennials appeal mostly to people who have 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.
