About this episode
Perennials 30.4.24
With Elisabeth busy with garden and house renovations this week, we have decided to replay one of our listeners favorite episodes.
Perennials. Elisabeth thinks these are a “must have” in every garden.
What is a perennial? A plant that persists for several years producing stems and flowers and dying back (or becoming dormant) in Winter. Herbaceous perennials completely die back in Winter (like a peony for example).
Perennials often have long flowering periods. Cut back before the Autumn Equinox for another flush of flowers. Many perennials are Mediterranean and drought tolerant but there are a huge variety of plants with differing requirements.
Numerous online retailers include Woodside Perennials, Woodbridge Perennials, Antique Perennials, Treasured Perennials
