Perennial Plants and Flowers
We carry one of the largest selection of perennials in Abbotsford. We stock many old english garden favorites as well as some of the newest cultivars. Our selection includes varieties suitable for cut flowers, attracting butterflies , hummingbirds as well as honey bees. We carry shade lovers and varieties that can tolerate full sun.
Perennials generally come back year after year. Some may be evergreen but most will die back to the ground and push forth new growth in spring. Most have definite bloom times some bloom in early spring, summer or fall. When planning a perennial garden try and use various varieties that bloom at different times. This way it is possible to have a whole growing season of interesting color. Keep in mind perennials have different growing heights so in your planning plant tall to the back and short to the front. We carry many ground cover varieties as well as varieties suitable for alpine and woodland environments.
Varieties we usually stock on our tables in the growing season
Our selection of perennials changes weekly in the growing season!
