Perennial flowers
Perennials include herbaceous and woody plants. Flowering perennials form the backbone of coloration throughout the year in our gardens. Being perennials, they often already blossom in early spring. In order to prolong the life of perennials, they should be replanted at regular intervals, or re-seeded in the case of species producing viable seeds.
