Plant them once, and they’ll keep showing up—season after season—with less work and more payoff. If you’re tired of replanting every spring or watching your beds go bare in the off-season, here’s why it pays to go perennial:
- They come back and spread. Most perennials return year after year and often multiply on their own. That means you can divide and replant without another trip to the nursery.
- Less maintenance, more time on weekends. Once their roots are established, perennials need less watering and attention than annuals. You’ll spend more time enjoying your yard and less time babysitting flower beds.
- They build healthier soil. Deep root systems help prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and retain water—great for clay-heavy Midwest yards.
- Pollinators love them. Many perennials feed bees, butterflies, and other helpful visitors, keeping your garden buzzing and balanced.
- They look good even when not blooming. Think texture, height, and shape. Unlike annuals, which vanish with the first frost, perennials give structure and seasonal interest all year long.
Root your garden in plants that stick around. With perennials, your landscape stays fuller, stronger, and better-looking with every season.
