Excerpt from Making a Garden of Perennials
HE successful garden has a permanent basis. There must be some flowers that appear year after year, whose posi tion is fixed and whose appearance can be counted on. The group classed as peren nials occupies this position and about flow ers of this class is arranged all the various array of annuals and bulbs. These last act as reinforcements in rounding out the gar den scheme.
Perennials are plants that live on year after year if the conditions surrounding them are congenial.
Trees and shrubs are perennials, of course; in these the stems are woody, but we are considering only those known as herbaceous perennials, having stems of a more or less soft texture that, with the exception of a few evergreen species, dieback each fall, new ones appearing the fol lowing spring.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the traditional methods for building perennial gardens, a type of garden that historically used long-lived, flowering plants to form a permanent base around which showy, seasonal flowers could be added. The author begins by explaining the process of preparing the soil and selecting a bed, then follows with a discussion of the best time for planting, spreading mulch, staking, and dividing plants. There are also discussions of the theoretical considerations that should be made when placing plants next to one another for optimal visual impact, such as bloom time, mature plant height, and foliage spread. The bulk of the book is dedicated to listing and describing over 50 different perennial plants that the author considers dependable and reliable for both beginning and experienced gardeners. These descriptions include not only information about preferred soil types and bloom times but also provide guidance on how to achieve the best aesthetic results when using each variety. The book concludes with a call to action for the reader to engage with the infinite joy that can be found in planting and cultivating a thriving perennial garden.
