If you want to plant perennials, make sure you select the right perennials for your garden. The best success with perennials have gardeners who know their soil, sun exposure and plant hardiness zone. The initial outlay for perennials is usually pricier than for annuals or biennials, so it's important to choose your plants carefully.
Before you buy perennials, get information on how big these plants get when they are mature and make sure they will fit in your space when they grow to full size. It is good idea to take a picture of your space and know the measurements of your garden before you buy plants.
Perennials grow and bloom over the spring and summer, become dormant over the winter and then return in spring from their established roots. They are often regarded as the easiest and most economical way to maintain a garden you can enjoy year after year.
Most countries are divided in different planting hardiness zones, ranging from coldest to warmest. Search for Plant Hardiness Zones Map in your area, it is usualy provided on agriculture site.
Plants you choose for your garden will grow best when they match the the level of sun required and soil condition needed for optimal growth. Most nursery-bought plants will have label with information about plant, recommended soil condition for optimal growth, watering instructions and the level of sun or shade required. In addition, there are often considerations for acidity of the soil for particular plants, and it may be recommended that you add the appropriate organic material to augment it. You can also buy a soil testing kit and ask your local garden centre for further guidance.
