Low Maintenance Perennials For Your Planting By Gabriella Mancuso

Perennial Plants are plants that live more than 2 years. Compared to annual plants, perennial plants are capable of surviving all weather conditions. They are often used to help fill in gardens and add color. They are also low maintenance and low on the pricing scale. I would definitely recommend getting these flowers for your garden especially the following favorites: • Japanese Painted Fern: a silver and purple shade. It fits perfectly in your garden with all kinds of plants. This flower is very neat and very tidy. • Achillea “Coronation Gold”: a bright, cute flower meant to stand out. This flower has also been said to keep the deer out from munching on your beautiful garden. • Asclepius Tuberosa: a vibrant, pretty orange flower meant to attract butterflies. It is also drought tolerant and long lasting. • Astible Chinensis and Rheinland: these flowers are extremely easy to grow. They tend to last through all weather conditions and all seasons. A very nice, easy pink addition to your garden. • Chelone Lyonil: this flower is an excellent choice if your garden only receives late-day sun. It has a very tropical sort of vibe to it. All of these flowers can be purchased at your local home improvement stores. They are without a doubt the smartest buy a garden owner could make. Easy, beautiful and the obvious smart choice. Just remember which flowers in your garden are perennial and which are annual. This way you do not dis- pose of the perennial flowers before their time is up considering they last longer than annuals.
