Perennials
A perennial border is never quite finished. Perennial plants settle in, return after winter and gradually become part of the structure of the garden, bringing familiar flowers, foliage and form back into play each growing season. This collection includes bare-root perennials and other perennial favourites selected for UK gardens, from Geranium, Echinacea and Rudbeckia to Hosta, peonies, irises and many more. Some bring height, others soften the front of a border or fill the spaces between shrubs and grasses. Together, they allow a planting scheme to develop in layers rather than relying on a single moment of flower.
Choosing the right hardy perennials is as much about what happens between flowering seasons as the flowers themselves. Early growth begins to rebuild the border in spring, summer brings successive periods of bloom and many varieties continue to contribute through autumn as foliage changes or seedheads remain standing. Sun-loving perennials can establish through open borders, while shade-tolerant plants bring texture beneath trees and shrubs. There are perennial flowers for pollinators, varieties suited to cutting and dependable foliage plants that help hold a scheme together. Matching each plant to its preferred light, soil and moisture gives it the conditions to settle in and return reliably.
Planting bare-root perennial plants is a practical way to establish a garden that develops over time. Supplied while dormant, the roots can be planted directly into prepared soil and begin establishing as the season moves forward, without the weight and waste of a compost-filled pot. Repeat favourite varieties through a border, combine contrasting heights and flower shapes or build a completely new perennial planting one section at a time. Some tender perennials need frost protection or lifting for winter, while many hardy types can remain in place year after year. The reward is a garden that does not simply repeat itself, but becomes more established, connected and recognisable with every season.
