Perennials

There are so many wonderful perennials to choose from with so many uses, it’s easy to lose track of the possibilities. Some are better suited to being used in mass plantings. Others are more attractive when they’re singled out as individual specimens.

Perennials are the backbone to any native garden. They are long-lived, usually easy to grow, and provide interest throughout the year.

Ornamental Sedges

Add Texture to Your Garden!

Sedges are often overlooked plants when designing a garden. We often think of gorgeous blooms, colorful shrubs, and grasses for a cottage garden look. However, sedges are a great way to add texture and movement to your garden, as well as being crucial for pollinators. They provide food, shelter, and soft landings for various butterflies and skippers.
