These Sturdy Perennials Are Sure To Last In Your Garden
By WILL FORD
While many perennials require occasional maintenance and care, certain varieties are renowned for their enduring resilience, making them steadfast fixtures in
any garden.
Colorful perennials like Black-eyed Susans, irises, and peonies will brighten up your garden during the late spring and early summer.
Rosemary, lavender, and fennel offer fragrant additions to any garden. Asparagus, strawberries, and rhubarb are reliable, edible staples that reappear every spring and summer.
However, gardeners need to be cautious with certain perennials like purple loosestrife, orange daylilies, and mint, which can become invasive and disrupt the ecological balance.
One beneficial, non-invasive perennial is salvia, containing a variety of species that attract pollinators, resist drought, thrive in the sun, and require little irrigation.
Yarrow, another recommended perennial, draws beneficial insects, is deer-resistant, and possesses a deep root system that enhances soil health and
nutrient absorption.
Lastly, geraniums are valued for their vibrant colors and natural insect repellent qualities, making them excellent companion plants, particularly for corn, grapes, and roses.
