Perennials
bPerennials are flowers that return each year. Although many die back after a hard frost in the fall, the roots survive through the winter and send up new shoots in the spring. Many perennials produce bigger and brighter blooms once they are established. Most require division every three to five years to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.
Not all perennial flowers survive the winter in all areas. Each is considered cold hardy to specific USDA plant hardiness zones. To determine if a specific perennial will survive in your area, check its hardiness zone.
Maine encompasses USDA plant hardiness zones 3b through 6a. Check the map below to determine the plant hardiness zone of your area.
