Flowers for Months! #gardeningtips #alantitchmarsh #geranium

Perennials are plants that flower in the spring and summer, die back over winter and then repeat the process the following year and for years to come. They are the backbone of any planting scheme, and I love them!

They do need to be planted in the right spot and in the right type of soil so If you’re a beginner gardener or nervous about making the right choices here are 5 that I’m adding to my borders this year, to get you started. I reveal where you should plant them in the garden and tips on how to look after them. Treat them well and these plants will give you pleasure for many years to come!

This is one of my all-time favorites, the hardy geranium. They vary in height between groundhoggers and this one, war grave pink, which will grow to about 45 cm, 18 in, smothered with bright pink flowers right the way through the summer. Fabulous ground cover, lovely leaves. Some of them are aromatic. This is a little bit. It will spread in clumps. Plant this where you’ve got trouble getting anything else to grow. It’s a really good do with the hardy geranium. Good for soil which is inclined to dry out. Though do try and water it immediately after you’ve planted a new one and keep it going until it’s established. But also in sun or dappled shade. It will thrive in either.
