A Blooming Parade – Choosing Perennials for your Garden  

The great thing about perennial plants is that they reappear in the garden each year.  Their disadvantage is that blooming periods are restricted to only part of the gardening season and can vary from as short as a week to as long as three months.  The challenge for gardeners is to select a combination of perennials that will bloom at different times throughout the season, creating a progression of flowers that are both visually appealing and provide food for pollinators.

Marilyn will focus on how to plant a combination of bulbs, horticultural varieties and native plants to provide a parade of blooms though the growing season so that there is something new happening in your garden from early April into October.
