Southern Perennial Gardening

Stokes’ aster, a southeastern native, is one of the hardiest perennials grown in the southeast. It tolerates dry conditions well.

Shasta Daisy is one of my favorite easy to grow perennials. The white flowers with yellow centers look good with just about any color combination.

Yarrow(Achillea) is a wonderful easy to grow perennial that tolerates drought and infertile soil. Yarrow grows in full sun and makes a good cut or dried flower.

Hosta is another of my favorite easy to grow perennials. If you are looking for a perennial for your shady spots, you cannot go wrong by chosing hosta.

Bearded iris are another of the very easy to grow perennials. The color purple is most often associated with bearded iris but you will find bearded iris in almost every color imaginable.

Purple Coneflower is another very easy to grow perennial that is a favorite of mine.

One of the easiest perennials to grow, daylilies (Hemerocallis) provide colorful flowers and when not in bloom the plant is still attractive because of the grass like foliage

Coreopsis is one of my favorite perennials. Not only is it easy to grow but there are many varieties, with some blooming almost all summer long
