Even if ignored once planted, they’ll come back year after year to give you flowers of radiant red, wonderful white, perfect purple, and brilliant blue. At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen. Here’s the catch. It turns out that “perennial” doesn’t mean universally perennial. Perennial flowers can thrive, given the right conditions. However, if you take perennials out of their native element, your expectations of worry-free flowers may be washed away. Fear not, flower-loving friends! There’s a simple solution. Native plants have adapted to thrive in specific climates. For example, perennials in New England are used to cold winters and warm summers. In the Southwest, bee balm and coneflowers can survive with limited water. In the Northwest, the wood lily doesn’t mind the frequent rainfall. 2024 Pre-Orders Available Now!

What does that mean for your garden this season? “Pick Your Perfect Perennials,” in the 2023 Old Farmer’s Almanac, has the answer. Whether you live in the Northeast, the Southwest, or anywhere in between from coast to coast, you can find out what types of perennials are suitable for your climate, along with several examples for each location. Before you plant those black-eyed Susans, find out if they’ll come back year after year, or if indeed there might be better choices for your garden.
