Unlike annual flowering plants Perennials, once planted, give us from several to many 
years of colorful bloom and increase in size and beauty each season. Among them are small 
border plants, medium sized plants and many other taller ones for background planting. By 
making proper selections you may have bloom through most of the year. 
For information about planting and care read our booklet ‘‘When, Where and How to
