The cooler days seem to give them a burst of energy, culminating in a profusion of flowers that can be enjoyed through to June.<\/p>\n<p>If your garden could do with lift, check out the garden centres for perennials in flower, and get planting! Perennials are long term residents of the garden, coming back into flower the next season and for seasons after that. Most can be divided after three years or when clumps get too large. More plants for free!<\/p>\n<p>They just need a good start. Plant into compost enriched soil, in sun or shade, depending on the variety. Water regularly from spring through to winter and fertilise once a month.

Plant three or more together for impact in the middle of a sunny bed. Space plants 20 to 30cm apart.

Use this neat, drought tolerant plant as a stand-out bedding and border perennial. Plant in full sun, water regularly, and cut stems back after flowering to encourage a second flush.
