Using Perennials in Garden Landscaping

A incredible number of people now totally comprehend that a beautifully well maintained garden can add an incredibly large amount of extra cash value to their house. Not only that, a cleverly designed garden can greatly add to the amount of useful space for your family and you. Because of these factors, and a few more besides, landscaping has, over time, grown to become an amazingly popular way of passing the time. Top of the list for most landscapers is a gorgeous yearly display of colorful and diverse blooms.

While many landscape gardeners opt to create color by using annual flowers, others conclude that using  perennial garden plants is the best solution.  Annual flowers are those plants which {grow, flower and die|germinate, develop, bloom and die} in only the one year whereas perennial garden fowers will continue to flower year upon year. Obviously there are advantages and minus points for both annual flowers and perennial plants and gardening is all about deciding which is the best mix of the two.

Many people experience emotional remembrances of distant days spent in a grandmother's garden enjoying the gorgeous fragrances of many old fashioned favorite perennial garden plants. Unfortunately it can be rather difficult for even the most avid gardener (including some experienced professionals) to replicate old fashioned gardens because many of the varieties (of species) can no longer be purchased. You will be happy to hear that many of the old fashioned cultivars have been superseded by strains which are more able to withstand disease, therefore you can often find suitable replacements which have hardly any (other) difference to the old fashioned plant.

Traditional Perennial Flowers

One of the most popular garden perennials used in gardening today is the Achillea ptarmica which was first used in American gardens during colonial days when it was introduced from Europe. Achillea is a very old fashioned plant used since the days of the Greek hero Achilles (from whom the plant gains it's name) who used it to treat his soldiers. Achillea can halt bleeding and works incredibly well at healing wounds.

Achillea

Yarrow has beautiful flattish groups of small blooms that look rather daisy like. Achillea  are available with flower heads in a selection of colors ranging from various shades of yellows, whites and pinks. Achillea ptarmica are thought by most gardeners to be relatively easy perennial garden fowers to grow. They are so easy to propagate because they are considerably invasive plants which can be spotted growing on the poorest of ground. If you want to witness success with Achillea millefolium the only thing is to avoid cultivating in extremely wet or poorly drained soil. The plants are fantastic at withstanding drought conditions. Achillea ptarmica and Achillea millefolium are two of the more popular varieties but there are various others available.
