Add new color in your landscape by installing herbaceous perennials. Herbaceous perennials will grow every year from the base of the plant. The plant emerges in the spring with new growth, in the summer growth continues, by fall the foliage and stems die to the ground, but the roots remain alive during the winter season. During the winter season the plant must have mulch around the roots to insure survivability of your perennial. Your perennial will only decline or die if the temperature and conditions of the winter are not favorable to the hardiness of your herbaceous plant.

Perennials that flower usually bloom for a two to three week period. There are some that will bloom quite longer. The best way to use perennials is in masses so you can see the color. Perennials are relatively easy to maintain. You typically can divide perennials on a regular basis so you can distribute more in your yard or give some to friends.

For the novice or avid gardener there are many brands of perennials that you can purchase from Northeast Nursery. These brands are noted for the extended bloom, or diseases tolerance, or just all around colors.
