Perennials

A perennial lives for several years, returning season after season; in Zone 9b some die back in cool weather and flush again when it warms.

Many perennials bloom in flushes rather than nonstop; mixing species with different bloom times keeps color in the garden longer.

Many perennials benefit from a cutback after a bloom cycle or in late winter to encourage fresh, fuller growth.

Fall and spring are the easiest windows in Zone 9b, giving roots time to establish before the stress of peak summer heat or any winter cold snap.

Combine species with spring, summer, and fall bloom so color rotates through the year. Our team can help you build a sequence for your light and space.
