Unlike annuals that have to be replanted every year, perennials are long-lasting and come back every year.
Here are 7 reasons why perennial flowers are beneficial to any garden.
1
Although perennials tend to cost more than annuals initially, they are a good long-term investment because they return year after year.
Perennials that don’t have a long life span can be divided or reseeded so you never really have to say goodbye.
2
Most perennials require less water once established, perfect for drought-prone areas.
3
Planting perennials that are native to your area create the perfect habitat for pollinators and local wildlife.
4
Once established, perennials don’t need to be replanted, and require less watering, fertilizing, and pruning.
5
Perennial flowers are a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
6
The deep root systems of perennials help stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
7
From low maintenance to environmental sustainability, perennial plants benefit the garden in many ways, including providing long-lasting beauty and interest.
