Herbaceous perennials are plants with non-woody stems that die down to the ground each year at the onset of winter. Evergreen perennials keep their leaves over winter and will still appear green in the spring. These perennials should never be cut other than removing finished flower stems or dead leaves.
As shown below there are perennials for every aspect – sun, shade, wet, dry, acidic soil and alkaline soil. Native plants are always a winner as they are very hardy and disease resistant.
