New Perennials For 2025
Perennials are the stalwarts of our garden borders, providing colourful garden flowers, year after year. There are many different types, including herbaceous perennial, short-lived perennial, woody perennial and hardy perennial. Unlike annuals that need replanting each spring, perennials come back from their roots every year. They are designed to create curb appeal, give a house a settled, nestled-in appearance in the landscape, and increase a home’s value. They are the plants that establish the garden’s foundation and provide a reliable, long-term display.
There are perennials to suit every type of garden, for any aspect or soil type, and they range in size from low-growing herbaceous plants for the front of a border, to medium-sized ones for the middle, to giants a couple of metres tall for the back. They establish and grow quickly, with most reaching their full size in a few growing seasons. Many perennials make good cut flowers and the more compact varieties are excellent for growing in pots. Most are flowering plants that are very attractive to pollinators. Here are a few of our latest additions, with more arriving weekly.
