Year-After-Year Beauty, Color, and Interest for the Garden

Looking for long-term, lasting beauty in your garden that will come back year after year? You need perennial flowers and plants! City Floral offers the widest selection of high-quality plants and flowers that are ideal for the Colorado climate and will look fantastic in your landscape.

Transform Your Landscape With Perennials

Unlike their annual flower partners, perennials will return year-after-year to provide beauty, color, and interest to your garden.

There is a wide range of perennial plants and flowers that offer different colors, shapes, and interest for your Denver landscape. Most perennials will bloom for only 2-4 weeks per year, so planning a perennial garden for either a burst of color at a certain point in the season or with a variety of perennials with staggered bloom times is key in perennial garden planning.  Consider texture of color of leaves in your perennial garden since plants aren’t blooming much of the time.  Some perennials will spread and add depth to your garden over time where others will remain a single plant.

Designing your garden for perennials is a joy! Instead of having to plant each year, gardeners can plan and plant a selection of perennials for different bloom periods, colors, shapes, and heights and sit back to enjoy a garden that only gets better over time.

How to Plan Your Perennial Garden

As you think about your perennial garden, give thought to location, sun, wind, soil type, and irrigation. Make sure you are choosing plants considering the sun exposure in the garden.  Shade perennials will burn in the sun and sun perennials won’t bloom if there is too much shade.  Questions to consider include, what size of perennial garden is best? How easy will it be to access the area as plants mature? Do you want the perennial flowers near an outdoor living area or to serve as a focal feature in the yard?

Sketch out your ideas aiming for planting taller plants at the back or in the middle of a perennial island. Consider bloom time, color, and texture of the plants you are thinking about including in your garden. Amending our Colorado clay soil as you plant perennials with compost or other soil amendments is key when planting perennials. Fertilizing perennial gardens in the growing season will help your perennials flower and flourish.

City Floral Garden Center is here to help you as you design your perennial garden! Our expert team is knowledgeable on soil conditions and perennial plant options ideal for Colorado, and so much more.
