Buy flowering perennials

Welcome to the enchanting world of flowering perennials, where vibrant blooms and enduring beauty reign. Here at Heijnen Plants, we take pride in offering an exquisite selection, including the stately spires of Veronicastrum virginicum 'Pink Glow' and the succulent charms of Sedum spathulifolium 'Purpureum'. These perennial favorites not only provide a long-lasting display of color but also contribute to a dynamic and textured garden tapestry, year after year.

The Vibrance of Flowering Perennials

Flowering perennials are the backbone of any garden, offering a rich palette of colors and textures that can transform any outdoor space into a living masterpiece. Unlike annuals, which need to be replanted each year, perennials grace your garden with their presence year after year, evolving and maturing with time. The beauty of these plants is not only in their flowers but also in the diverse range of foliage, height, and blooming times, making them versatile for any garden design.

A Symphony of Blooms

The true delight of perennials lies in their varied blooming cycles. Early in the season, gardens come alive with the vibrant hues of Papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise', whose satiny blossoms provide an eye-catching display. As spring progresses, the cushion-like mounds of Phlox subulata 'Amazing Grace' burst into bloom, blanketing the ground in a froth of white flowers.

Moving into the summer months, the garden's atmosphere shifts as the bold Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet' unfurls its whorls of red, bringing with it a buzz of pollinators. This is echoed by the airy spires of Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop', which sway gracefully above their foliage, adding a touch of whimsy and movement to the landscape.

As the season wanes, autumnal tones creep in with the robust flowering of Aster novae-angliae 'Purple Dome', a compact variety that offers a profusion of deep purple flowers. This is complemented by the resilient Sedum album 'Coral Carpet', whose succulent leaves turn from green to shades of red as the temperatures drop, providing interest even when not in bloom.

Enduring Beauty Throughout the Seasons

What sets flowering perennials apart is their ability to offer more than just seasonal color. Plants like Doronicum orientale, known as the Caucasian leopard's bane, not only offer cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers in the spring but also have lush green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Similarly, Kalimeris incisa 'Nana Blue' provides delicate blue Aster-like blooms in the late summer, followed by equally charming seed heads that persist into the winter.

Cultivating Your Perennial Paradise

At Heijnen Plants, we understand that creating a perennial garden requires plants that are as robust as they are beautiful. That's why we carefully select varieties that thrive in a range of conditions. Whether you have a sun-drenched border or a shady nook, there is a flowering perennial to suit your needs. With our direct-from-grower guarantee, you can rest assured that the plants you receive will be of the highest quality, ready to flourish in your garden for seasons to come.

Remember, the key to a successful perennial garden is diversity. By choosing a mix of flowering perennials with different bloom times, you ensure a continuous display of color. Combine the upright elegance of Veronicastrum virginicum 'Pink Glow' with the creeping Sedum spathulifolium 'Purpureum' for a layered effect that adds depth to your garden. And, to keep your garden vibrant from spring to fall, intersperse early, mid, and late-season bloomers for an ever-evolving floral showcase.

Embrace the enduring beauty of flowering perennials and let Heijnen Plants help you cultivate a garden that will captivate and enchant for many years to come.

What function can flowering perennials have in a garden?

In a garden, flowering perennials contribute to the aesthetic appeal with their vibrant blooms and varied textures. They can serve as focal points, fill in gaps in borders, attract pollinators, and create a sense of continuity when used to connect different garden areas, all while offering seasonal interest and diversity.

Which is the best period for transplanting flowering perennials?

Transplanting flowering perennials is best done during their dormant phase, which is typically in early spring or late autumn. This timing allows the plants to establish themselves without the stress of blooming or extreme weather, ensuring a successful transition and robust growth in the following season.

Which plants can be combined well with flowering perennials?

Flowering perennials can be beautifully combined with bee-friendly plants and butterfly-friendly plants to create a pollinator haven. Ornamental grasses add texture and movement, while shrubs and border plants provide a backdrop that highlights the colors and forms of the flowering perennials, creating a harmonious and layered garden display.

In which soil type do most flowering perennials grow well?

Most flowering perennials thrive in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. They generally prefer a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Amending the soil with compost can enhance its structure, providing the ideal growing conditions to support healthy and abundant blooms throughout the growing season.

What popular types of flowering perennials are there?

Among the popular varieties of flowering perennials are the tall and stately Veronicastrum virginicum 'Pink Glow', the vibrant Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet', and the classic Papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise'. For ground cover, consider Sedum spathulifolium 'Purpureum' and Phlox subulata 'Amazing Grace'. Asters such as Aster novae-angliae 'Purple Dome' provide late-season color.

In what period can I best plant flowering perennials?

The optimal period for planting flowering perennials is typically during the spring or autumn months. These seasons offer moderate temperatures and usually more consistent moisture levels, which are conducive to the establishment and root growth of the plants before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.
