Redfin asked the green-thumb experts, who shared what botanical beauties will have your curb appeal standing out from your neighbors, ensuring your home looks amazing all year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is perennial? The benefits of year-after-year blooms.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These remarkable plants, unlike annuals which complete their life cycle in a single season, or biennials, which take two, return faithfully to grace us with their presence again and again. Beyond their enduring nature, perennials offer a wealth of benefits, from reducing the need for constant replanting and saving money to creating a stable and thriving ecosystem in your garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning your perennial garden<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A successful perennial garden requires careful planning. Start by understanding your climate and soil: determine your hardiness zone, utilize the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov\/app\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> USDA Web Soil Survey (WSS)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for detailed soil information, test and amend your soil for optimal growth, and consider sun exposure. Then, apply design principles to create a visually appealing space: Layer plants for depth, plan for continuous bloom times, and create focal points and pathways. Finally, select plants based on their needs, prioritize native species, and choose a diverse mix of flowers, foliage, and textures for a harmonious garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It is easy to select perennials solely based on flower color and what they look like during the growing season, but we prioritize featuring perennials that offer significant winter interest. This winter interest can come in the form of spent flowers, seed pods, and plants that remain upright even after snowfall.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plant material is left up and not cut back until temperatures are consistently in the 50s in late spring, as this habitat provides shelter for wildlife including bees, butterflies, and birds. We use a mulching mower, set up high, to cut back perennials, and the resulting debris acts as a natural weed barrier and helps to conserve soil moisture.&#8221; \u2013 Michael Jesiolowski, Director of Horticulture with<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rotary Botanical Gardens\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Native perennials: A wildlife haven from spring to fall<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The changing seasons bring a dynamic shift to our gardens, creating a continuous flow of resources for local wildlife. To support a healthy ecosystem from spring&#8217;s awakening to autumn&#8217;s close, prioritize native North American perennials. These well-adapted plants provide essential food and shelter for pollinators and insects, turning our yards into vibrant wildlife habitats.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo boost wildlife in gardens from spring to fall, prioritize native North American perennials. New England examples include: May&#8217;s Amsonia (bluestar), June&#8217;s penstemon (beardtongue), July&#8217;s Asclepias (milkweed) for monarchs, carrot family plants for swallowtails, August&#8217;s eutrochium (Joe Pye Weed), and September&#8217;s solidago (goldenrod). Add lobelia (cardinal flower) for hummingbirds and spicebush swallowtails. Avoid pesticides\/herbicides. Leave leaf litter until spring to protect overwintering insects.\u201d \u2013 Barb Young with <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglittlegarden.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"
