The benefits of perennial plants continues to grow (no pun intended) and each new season brings new and exciting introductions to the home gardener.
A typical example is the much loved Black-Eyed Susan which in its new form will bloom from early May until frost, unlike its original companion which blooms from mid July until late August only.
Dwarf shrubs, small trees and ornamental grasses can add colour, texture and dimension, so your garden can look beautiful year round, even in more extreme climate areas where it may be snow covered during the winter months.
In addition to their sheer variety and beauty, perennials can be selected to attract birds, for fragrance, ground cover or low maintenance and of course for many other reasons.
Many of us forget the added bonus, that a perennial garden can provide a supply of fresh cut flowers and foliage for your home at least from early spring to mid November.
Its hard to think of another tree as beautiful and spiritual as the delicate Japanese Maple - often referred to as the "Aristocrat of Trees".
Whether a tall elegant variety or a low-to-the-ground bushy type- a full size plant or a carefully cultivated bonsai, the Japanese Maple has a grace and personality that has made it near and dear to gardeners, amateurs and spectators around the world.
With all the new customized plant varieties and information now available, it becomes easier and easier for the amateur gardener to make an informed choice, so get the help and advice you need make your garden a special and magical place year after year.
