How do I use Perennials?

Perennials provide a long sequence of bloom if plants
are carefully selected. Very early bloom can be obtained by
planting spring flowering bulbs with perennials. The peak
perennial bloom comes in June and July with a scattering of
bloom ending with the chrysanthemums in the fall.

Once planted, perennials come up every year for a
number of years. Unfortunately, some don't last very many
years. The life span of a particular planting of
perennials depends on the soil type and the care the bed
receives.
