Perennial Bloom
Most perennials have one blooming season a year, usually lasting from one week to more than a month. This mix of nineteen varieties includes flowers from subtle to showy. Maintenance usually involves deadheading, yearly cleanup, some fertilizing, and watering as needed. In cool climates plant in the spring, 3 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. They provide an enormous array of colors, shapes, textures and bloom times, year after year. Most perennials require minimum maintenance once established. Some of the perennials included are Basket of Gold, Black Eyed Susan, Blanketflower, Coneflower, Cottage Pinks, Shasta Daisy, Forget Me Not, and Mexican Hat. The Perennial Bloom is a mix of many perennials that are the mainstay of many a garden. ... more information
