Perennial Flowers

Let me be frank. I have had a 30 year love affair with perennial flowers. It wasn't until I discovered how easy some of them were to grow, how challenging others were to propagate and how lovely they all (well, almost all) when they were in bloom in my gardens that I truly became a committed gardener. Shortly afterwards, my small nursery exploded into growth and I found myself growing well over 1800 varieties of new and interesting perennial flowers year after year. I think I usually started about 300 new ones from seed every year just to see if they'd live in my USDA zone 4 garden.

I'm hooked on these plants.

This is not to say that I don't grow and enjoy other plants as well (heck, I've written books on bulbs and roses) but this class of garden plant owns my heart. Or at least it does when there's something in bloom in my garden.
