If there's any type of plant that so
many people who buy seeds online
from ourselves here at Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk)
seem to especially wax lyrical about, it's the perennial. They go to see the
show gardens at Chelsea, and are astonished by the immaculate colour
coordination of the perennials there, wondering how they could possibly achieve
the same effect in their own gardens. Even if this is possible, how do you do
it?
As gorgeous as perennials often look
in magazine centrefolds, you'll need to be sure that yours look good in the
long term, particularly if you grow them in larger drifts. Not all of our
customers of cheap seeds are
massively convinced about vast swathes of perennials, given that the damp
winters of the UK climate can leave many parts drab and decaying between
December and May. Nor does the thought of having to tend such far-reaching
stretches fill every gardener with joy, as it can be highly monotonous work.
However, there are still ways of
incorporating perennials into your scheme that make sense even if you are a
time-pressed gardener not able to lavish hour after hour of attention on them.
By mixing them with structural planting, you can help to ensure that your
garden looks dynamic at all times of year. Whether your garden is dominated by
trees, shrubs, grasses or roses, perennials mix well with all of them, having a
dramatic effect on seasonal colour levels. What's more, with so many more
high-performance plants continually emerging, it's never been more interesting
or challenging to choose the right ones for your garden.
Those wanting to grow perennials
cost-effectively above all else, may want to invest in the Perennial Border
Collection of Johnsons
Seeds, as is now available from Seeds By Post. It consists of a series of
flower seeds allowing you to create the ideal backbone to a dramatic
herbaceous. Johnsons also offers an especially hardy perennial in the form of
Platycodon grandiflora Mixed, which combines attractive blue-green foliage with
gorgeous open, delicately veined blooms. Meanwhile, Unwins Seeds brings
our customers the likes of the Wildflower Harebell, a dainty but pretty wild
summer flower that attracts plenty of bees and butterflies.
Or maybe you'd be tempted by our Mr Fothergills
range of perennials, in which you can find Sweet Pea Everlasting Mixed, a great
choice for the traditional cottage garden, where it can scramble through early
flowering shrubs and climb over walls and fences? Or what about some cacti for
your greenhouse, as we now stock from Suttons Seeds? The
great thing about the seeds in its Cactus GP - Prickly Characters (Mixed) set,
besides the curious and interesting mix of plants, is that they can be sown at
any time of year.
By experimenting with some of the
perennial flower
seeds from Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk),
within just a few seasons, you can see truly stunning results.
