WHY YOU CAN BUY PERENNIALS ALL YEAR ROUND

Perennials provide new beginnings each spring and continue to grow and bloom for several years. Hardy plants can also add color to your garden in the colder months. Some, like Helleborus, even bloom in winter. And also consider Vibernum, Winter Heather, Cyclamen, Primulas and Berberis.

Many people think it’s only worth buying perennials in the spring, but that’s a misconception. In winter, they are often dormant, but can go straight into the ground. As long as it doesn’t freeze, they will grow again with new energy in the spring.

Prune your plants in winter to keep your garden tidy, but leave the dead leaves as shelter for insects. In winter feel free to buy your perennials, they will beautify your garden and surprise you even in the coldest months!
