Part Shade Perennials Provide Color That Returns Every Year
by Gene Bush
There are many benefits to including part shade perennials in one's garden. Unlike annuals that provide quick color that is short lived, these varieties require two or more growing seasons to reach maturity. Once established, they return every spring and will provide color, foliage or both for several seasons, making them popular landscaping choices.
Annuals grow to maturity in one growing season. They can be planted from seed, flower and produce fruit or seeds in one growing season. Most of the time, they die after they produce and need to be planted again in subsequent seasons.
By way of contrast, the perennial plant does not flower or create seeds and fruit during its first year of life. To ensure color in the bed, gardeners often buy transplants that have been growing for at least one year in a nursery. This allows the plant to flower the first year it is added to a bed.
Heavy frosts and severe winter weather may cause the foliage of some of these plants to die back, but in milder climates, they might remain green all year long. New growth is then produced by the root system, allowing the garden that was well planned to return vigorous every year for several seasons.
Some beds are shaded by trees or nearby buildings but still receive filtered sunlight. Such locations can provide stunted growth for sun loving plants. It is possible to select varieties that actually prefer the partially shaded areas. This option is more likely to provide a more acceptable result.
When one is designing beds for shaded areas and needing plants to return each year, part shade perennials make a good choice. Available in both flowering plants and those that offer foliage, these plants can work with many different color schemes. The provide lasting beauty for the investment of both time and money.
