The perennial is a flower or plant that will survive year after year, producing fruit or flowers and seeds. Additionally, there are two subcategories of perennials: herbaceous and woody. Day lillies and irises, examples of herbaceous perennials, will die at the end of the season, then regrow at the beginning of the next season. Woody perennials, such as trees and shrubs, will stay the same all year long. On the other hand, annuals, such as geraniums and pansies, are plants or flowers that die at the end of the growing season and do not come back.Planning Your GardenThink about your color scheme when choosing your annuals and perennials. Choose colors that complement the color of your home and each other. Plant neutral colors between bright colors to prevent the colors of your flowers clashing with each other. Also, consider the time that the flowers take to bloom. By choosing flowers with various bloom times, you will ensure that you have a flowering garden all year long. Place taller plants at the back of the garden, and plant delicate plants in the front of the garden. Include some foliage plants that have no flowers to break up the color scheme. Choose flowers that will go well in the amount of sunlight that your flower bed will receive, as most flowering plants need sunshine.Planting Your GardenPrepare the soil in your garden by digging up at least six inches into the dirt. Combine peat moss or a good compost into the soil. This will provide the plants with drainage. After the seeds start to sprout, thin the seedlings to give them enough room to grow and thrive.
