I Love Perennials

I love it when a flower I enjoyed so much one year comes back again the next. It is really something to look forward to from year to year. So I have a list of flowers that are perennials. Though they are more costly than the others they have long bloom periods and offer their loveliness from spring to fall. * Black-eyed Susan's- Pretty vibrant daisies dazzle any year. * Coneflowers(or Echinacea)- with vibrant petals with shades of purple, pink, with and yellow. They also have medicinal properties. * Salvia( or sage)- Beautiful spikes of blue, purple, pink, and red that bloom from late spring through fall. * Coreopsis- This one blooms from early summer to fall in pink, red, and orange shades. * Daylily- Need to be in well-drained soil and they will bloom from early summer to fall in shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple. * Blanket Flowers- a hardy perennial that blooms from late spring through fall. * Shasta Daisies- lovely daisy-like drought-resistant flowers like well-drained soil and full sun. They are white with yellow centers. * Russian Sage- Silver gray foliage and lavender flowers do well in well-drained soil and full sun. * Geraniums- These bloom in late spring until fall and have pink, purple, blue, and white blooms. * Catmint- This aromatic foliage with spikes of lavender-blue flowers blooms from late spring to fall. * Bee Balm- vibrant in spiky tubular flowers of red, pink, purple, and white they attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds from mid-summer to fall. * Japanese Anemone- These elegant blooms are around from late summer to fall and come in shades of pink, white, and lavender. * Sedum-(or stonecrop) This hardy perennial blooms from late summer to fall in star-shaped flowers of pink, red, yellow, and white. * Yarrow- blooms from early summer to fall and comes in shades of yellow, pink, red, and white. * Phlox- blooms from mid-summer to fall in fragrant, star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, white, and red. * Helenium(or sneezeweed)- blooms from mid-summer to fall in daisy-like flowers of yellow, orange, and red. * Penstemon(or beardtongue) it blooms from late spring to fall in tubular flowers of pink, purple, red, and white. * Butterfly Weed- blooms from late spring to early fall in shades of bright orange, yellow, and red flowers attracting butterflies.
