Perennials... A Delightful Addition To A Small Home Garden
Every Garden Needs Perennials
Perennials are able to solve design problems in small gardens in great ways. They help by encouraging experimentation. Some perennials prefer to be on their own and fend as solitary plants as they might need a larger space to grow in than other perennials. Perennials are found in many positions... Sunny, semi-shady, shady and semi-sunny areas. If planted in rows, tall Autumn flowering perennials will provide a screen to provide shade for other plants. Perennials can also serve as ground covering plants successfully.
