What are perennial flowers? If you do not yet know them, know that they are plants whose growth does not stop after a limited period of time as happens with other types, such as annual or biennial ones, and that they continue to bloom twice in a year of life.
The perennial flowers are in fact all those varieties that continue to live for a long, long time and bloom every year: primrose, heather, lavender, hydrangea and herbs are just some of the species that you should have in your garden. These flowers usually belong to herbaceous species, but they can also be part of the aromatic plants, such as sage, which shows its wonderful purple flowers every year at the same time.
The only "contraindication", if you choose to plant them in your garden, is that they attract insects - especially bees and butterflies - much more than other flowers.
Curious then to discover what are the most beautiful and colorful perennial flowers to choose from to embellish your garden all year round? Here are listed here!
