One of the most enjoyable things for a gardener is seeing a flower bloom in spring that was planted years before. These types of flowers, called perennial flowers, come back year after year. These types of plants make a great choice for a beginner gardener because of their durability and low maintenance.
Perennials can survive through multiple dormant seasons, even after they seem to completely vanish in the fall or winter. In spring, they harness energy stored in their rootstocks to grow new shoots and leaves. Their rootstocks are often in the shape of a bulb.
Plants like onions and garlic are technically perennials, but only if they aren't eaten after one or two years! A perennial is different from an annual or biennial plant. Instead of persisting for just one or two years, perennials can outlive the gardener! But usually, pests or disease get to them before that happens.
Here's our list of the 5 easiest perennial flowers to grow in your garden, and what makes them so low maintenance!
