Why Choose Hardy Perennials?

• Year-Round Structure: Perennials return every spring, building stronger root systems and fuller displays each year.
• Diverse Blooms: Expect a mix of flowering times, heights, and forms for continuous interest from early spring to late autumn.
• Wildlife Friendly: Many varieties attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting your local ecosystem.

Growing Guide

• Planting Location: Most perennials thrive in full sun to partial shade. Choose well-drained soil for best results.
• Soil Preferences: These adaptable plants do well in most garden soils. Improve heavy clay or sandy soils with compost before planting.
• Spacing: Allow enough room between plants (20–30cm apart) to encourage healthy growth and airflow.
• Mature Size: Expect varying heights between 30–90cm depending on species included.

Caring for Your Perennials

• Watering: Keep soil moist during establishment; once settled, most perennials are drought tolerant.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to boost flowering and foliage.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming. Cut back stems in late autumn or early spring as new growth appears.
• Winter Hardiness: All included varieties are hardy in the UK climate (typically USDA zones 4-8).

Design Tips & Companion Planting

• Create layered borders by mixing taller varieties at the back with shorter ones at the front.
• Combine with classic cottage favourites like lavender, delphiniums, foxgloves, or roses for a traditional look.
• Add bulbs such as tulips or daffodils for extra spring colour.

FAQs

• When is the best time to plant?
  The ideal time is between February and May or September to November while the soil is workable and moist.
• How fast will they grow?
  You’ll see growth within weeks of planting; most will flower in their first season if planted early in spring.
• Do I need special soil?
  No special soil is required—these perennials adapt well but benefit from enriched, well-draining garden soil.
