Perennial Collection - Details
My large perennial collections are kind of difficult to present. Lots of plants, care guides, planting diagrams (garden plans), etc. Here are some details on one of them - the Prize-Winnng Perennial Garden. I have this kind of detail on all of them, of course, and would be happy to email them to you, or post them here.There are thousands of perennials, but each season only one can win "Perennial Plant of the Year." From the Perennial Plant Association (PPA), we have gathered prize winners from the last 15 years into our best-selling collection.
