Why are perennials practical?

Perennials are long-lasting herbaceous plants that produce new shoots each year. Unlike shrubs and trees, they do not become permanently woody. In winter, their above-ground parts often die off, but in spring they grow back from roots or tubers.

Characteristics of perennial plants

  • Strong and resilient
  • Since perennials live for several years, you won't have to replant them every year - this saves time and money.
  • Variety of colors and shapes
  • There is a huge selection of perennials: flowering, evergreen, groundcover and tall varieties.
  • Many bloom for a long time or even several times a year.
  • Ecologically valuable
  • Perennials such as lavender, echinacea, and sage are an important food source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
  • Low operating costs
  • Most perennials are hardy, require little watering, and only need pruning in the spring or fall.
  • Universal use
  • Ideal for flower beds, rock gardens, wildflower meadows or as a groundcover
  • There are perennial plants for sunny and shady places.
  • Beautiful even in winter

Perennials make a garden easy to maintain, resilient and vibrant - a great choice for any garden, novice gardeners and professionals alike.
