Tips For Creating An Ever-Blooming Perennial GardenĪhhhh flowers, who doesn’t love to see a garden bursting with beautiful flowers?īut be careful, don’t let flower fixation set in again here. Ok, NOW we can focus on flowers (color and bloom time!). If you already have a boring, green garden, then adding colorful foliage is the fastest way to rejuvenate the garden and add tons of immediate color! Try not to plant perennials with the same color foliage next to each other, rather put foliage with contrasting textures and colors next to each other whenever you can. Think about how you can mix the different foliage colors, textures, shapes and sizes into your garden.

So, the next time you walk into the garden center, I challenge you to try to ignore the flowers up in your face, and focus only on the foliage of the plants. These days, perennial plants come in chartreuse, lime green, dark green, variegated, silver, burgundy, purple, pink, red… well, you can pretty much name your foliage color!
