Sun perennials are a type of flowering plant that do not require annual maintenance. These plants will bloom year round, and they are very easy to maintain. Most sun perennials are shade tolerant and can tolerate some rain, but some varieties will need annual pruning to keep them in shape.
Types of plants that are considered’sun perennials’ are Dogbane, Columbines, Eyore, Forget-me-not, Lily of the Valley, Pine of the Woods, Strawberry Bush, Sweet William, and the likes. These plants are found in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. They grow best in full sun and they can tolerate cold weather. They prefer fertile, well-drained soil. Some varieties of this type of garden shrub may flower all year, but some are perennials which bloom only during the summer or fall months.
Sun perennials come in a wide variety of colors, textures, and heights. They can be found as shrubs, and sometimes as vegetables. Some of the varieties of sun perennials available are the following: Dogbane, Forget-me-not, Pilewort, Summer Loom, and the likes. If you want taller varieties, you may want to try Ivy, Morning Glory, and the likes. To give your sun-potted plants a taller appearance, place them at least 4 feet tall in the ground.
Sun perennials are great for those who want to bring color to their landscaping in the spring as well. These plants come in many different bloom time intervals, such as the early morning, mid-morning, early evening, mid-afternoon, and late morning blooms. If you want to plant them in your zone, then you must plant them in those places that are in your area in the spring. Zones differ because some have cold winters and other have hot summers. If you’re not sure what is in your zone, then consult with a gardening store assistant.
Sun perennials do not grow as fast as they look. They have a very long life span, from as long as 20 years, although some varieties may bloom longer. The slow growth of these plants makes them suitable for many areas, especially if you are not trying to grow a specimen in the first year. If you plant them in a container garden, then you do not have to worry about fertilizing or monitoring their growth. Since they bloom in the late winter or early spring, it will be difficult for them to survive even during their hardiest years.
