The Joys of Perennials

Perennials offer the gardener a vast palette of plants from which to choose. Perennials add elements of color, texture and design sophistication not possible using just common annuals like petunias and marigolds. Because perennials have more specific cultural requirements and usually don’t bloom all season, planning a perennial bed can be more challenging, especially for gardeners who have not had a lot of experience growing these plants. In the mid-1990’s, High Country Gardens recognized that the concept of pre-planned perennial gardens was the best method of providing our customers with professionally designed perennial flower beds.

Pre-Planned Garden Themes

The popularity of these gardens with our customers has inspired us to expand our initial HCG offerings to include many new designs with different themes and uses. Some of our most popular pre-planned gardens include:

• Jumbo Waterwise Garden, The ‘Inferno Strip’ gardens (for the hot, dry, narrow strips of dirt between the sidewalk and street),
• The ‘Jumbo Waterwise’ garden (for a low care, long blooming, low water perennial planting) and
• The ‘August Afternoons’ garden (for a colorful, late summer blast of color and texture).

Insuring Success

Much like painting-by-numbers, our HCG pre-planned gardens take the guess work out of the process and ensure success by;

• providing a diagram to correctly position and space the perennials and create a lasting and visually pleasing planting.
• including a care sheet with specific instructions for fertilizing, mulching and the care of individual perennials used in the design.
