PLANTING AND GROWING 
PERENNIALS 
The present trend in perennial growing is to grow a number of 
different sorts in informal bed or along the shrub border and include 
only a few which are classed as rare plants. Perennials, or plants 
which live more than one year, are very essential on the grounds 
of anyone who likes color all through the different seasons. They 
may be planted in beds, in wide borders, in front of shrubs, around a 
pool, and the lower growing or dwarf sorts are widely used for rock 
garden planting. They may be planted in rows in a small garden for 
cutting purposes. They may be used singly but it is recommended 
that they be planted in clumps or groups of from three to twelve 
plants of a kind, as a mass of color is much more effective. 
In planting a perennial planting, lay out the space you have 
available for them on piece of paper and spot in the taller growing 
sorts for background. Then select the plants for the border and jot 
them on your layout. Fill in with the medium tall growing sorts in 
the center of the bed. Select and plant for color display so that you 
do not have two kinds of perennials with the same color of blossoms 
beside each other. Color variations in a perennial bed essential. 
Many types of perennials will do better if frequently trans- 
planted, that is, about every third year. This is especially true of the 
Coreopsis, Gaillardias, Shasta Daisies and other varieties which have 
dense foliage just above the ground. The plants should be removed 
from the bed and torn into several divisions, and these divisions re- 
planted, the same as new plants. Iris also does better if transplanted 
occasionally.
