There are few things more pleasing than a garden filled with herbaceous perennials. These hard-working flowers are simple to grow, easy to care for (with usually just one cut-back a year), and fill your garden with colour, nectar for pollinators, scent and lush greenery that grows back and bulks up every year.
They are also much more environmentally sustainable than continually planting annual bedding. Successions of colour can be added using perennials that flower in different months, and structure through the winter is achieved through seedheads and stems, both of which are so beneficial to biodiversity in
