15 Perennial Plants Perfect For Your Garden
By JULIANA LUMAJ
Daylily
A popular choice for gardens, the daylily (genus Hemerocallis) has a variety of colors and sizes to match any garden. This delicate-looking flower is strong and able to sustain harsh environments when placed away from other plants with
plenty of sunlight.
Catmint
This flower offers a beautiful shade of purple to your summer garden that is easy to sustain. Catmint (Nepeta mussinii), not to be confused with catnip (Nepeta cataria), should be planted in well-drained soil, fully exposed to the sun.
Speedwell
Another sturdy perennial is the speedwell (Veronica spicata), which can survive different soil and watering conditions. Plant this spiky flower in well-drained soil with partial or full sunlight to see it thrive.
Ornamental Onion
This cute, orb-shaped flower not only adds a splash of color to your garden but also a unique odor. The ornamental onion (allium) gives off the smell of onions or garlic and, when placed on the outskirts of your garden, can attract bees and butterflies while protecting from deer.
Shasta Daisy
A classic, long-lasting perennial, the shasta daisy (Leucanthemum) provides a timeless look to your garden that is highly sought after. They can vary in size and shape, growing between 2 to 4 feet tall, but make sure they have some shade when high temperatures hit.
