Perennials for sale for color that comes back every year: agapanthus, kangaroo paw, yarrow, salvia, lavender, penstemon and more, in 1 to 5 gallon containers. Each plant lists its bloom time and flower color, sun and water needs, and mature size, so you can plan a border that flowers across the seasons.
Mass perennials in groups of three or more for impact, and mix bloom times so the bed is never bare. Many attract pollinators and hummingbirds. Browse all nursery plants.
Dónde suelen ir las plantas de esta página y qué ver después.
Agapanthus, kangaroo paw and other perennials here hold nectar that pollinators and hummingbirds visit while flowers are open, particularly where several bloom times overlap in one bed.
Perennials work between young shrubs while they are still filling in, adding color and texture to a border in the first few years before the shrubs reach full size.
Low growing perennials planted along the edge of a decomposed granite or gravel path soften the hard line between stone and bed without blocking foot traffic.
A smaller group of perennials on this page is rated for shade and works planted under high tree canopy, where a full sun bed would go bare instead.
Cómo elegir, qué revisar antes de ordenar y cómo se entregan los pedidos de plantas.
Perennials are plants that come back on their own year after year, dying back to the roots or holding through a mild winter and growing out again in spring, unlike annuals that finish after one season. The perennials for sale here include agapanthus, kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos), yarrow (Achillea) and other flowering plants chosen for California gardens, most rated drought tolerant and many drawing bees, butterflies or hummingbirds. Sizes run from 1 gallon starter plants to 5 gallon plants that fill a bed sooner. Sun, water need and bloom season are listed on each product page.
Bloom season varies across this group: some perennials flower mainly in summer, others spread bloom across spring, summer and fall. Combining early and late bloomers keeps a bed from going bare in the gaps. Agapanthus and kangaroo paw both tend toward summer color, so pair them with an earlier spring bloomer or a foliage plant like Artemisia for contrast once the flower spikes are done. Mass three or more of one variety together rather than planting single specimens, since a lone plant reads as a spot of color while a group reads as a border. Many of these perennials also draw hummingbirds and pollinators; see our hummingbird plants for more nectar-rich options.
Most perennials on this page take full sun, though a smaller group is rated for part sun or shade and suits the north side of a house or a spot under high tree canopy. Water need runs from low to moderate rather than needing regular irrigation once established: that is what drought tolerant perennials means in practice, less frequent and deeper watering rather than none at all. Zone range varies by species, from plants rated for Rosamond's hard winter frosts to types better suited to the milder Central Valley or coastal climate. Match the sun, water and zone rating on the product page to your yard before buying, not the plant's general reputation.
Dig a hole no deeper than the container and about twice as wide, then backfill with the native soil mixed with a bagged planting mix if the ground is heavy clay or fast draining sand; see our garden soils and amendments for options. Water new perennials more often for the first few weeks while roots establish, then taper off to match the plant's rated water need. Many varieties, including agapanthus and yarrow, benefit from cutting the spent flower stalks back once bloom is done, which usually encourages another round later in the season. Divide crowded clumps every few years in fall or early spring to keep them blooming well.
Perennials live for multiple years and regrow from their roots or crown each season, while annuals complete their life cycle in one year and must be replanted. A perennial may die back to bare ground in a hard winter or hold its leaves through a mild one, then send up new growth in spring. Annuals give a longer continuous bloom in their single season, while perennials return smaller each spring until they fill out, then keep coming back with less replanting and less cost over several years.
Yes, perennials regrow from their roots or crown each year rather than needing replanting, as long as the variety is rated for your zone and gets the water and sun it needs. In Rosamond's high desert winters some perennials die back to the ground and return in spring, while in milder coastal or Central Valley climates many stay evergreen through winter. Check the USDA zone range and sun rating on each product page, since a perennial planted outside its zone may not survive a hard frost.
Plant perennials in groups of three or more of the same variety rather than single specimens, since a lone plant reads as a spot of color while a mass reads as a border. Space plants according to the mature width listed on the product page, usually leaving enough room for each clump to fill in without crowding within a season or two. Mixing several groups with different bloom times, rather than one plant of many kinds, keeps a bed from looking sparse between flowering periods.
Yes, cutting the spent flower stalks off agapanthus and kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos) once the blooms fade usually encourages a second round of flowers later in the season. Agapanthus foliage can be trimmed back hard in late winter if it looks tired, and clumps benefit from division every few years once they get crowded. Kangaroo paw prefers to have old flower spikes removed at the base rather than sheared across the top, which keeps new spikes coming from the center of the plant.
Drought tolerant perennials need less frequent watering once established, not zero water, and most still need regular water through their first season while roots take hold. After that, a deep soak every week or two in summer heat is usually enough for a low or moderate water perennial, compared to daily watering for thirstier bedding plants. Rosamond and the high desert push water needs higher in summer than a milder coastal yard, so match watering to your local heat, not just the plant tag.
Many of the flowering perennials sold here, including agapanthus and kangaroo paw, draw bees, butterflies and hummingbirds while in bloom, since their tubular or clustered flowers hold nectar those visitors feed on. Planting several varieties with staggered bloom times gives pollinators a longer season of nectar rather than one short burst. A mixed bed of drought tolerant, pollinator-friendly perennials also needs less water and spraying than a lawn or bedding-plant border, which tends to support more visiting insects and birds over a full year.

Llame al (800) 215-7372Perennial flowers on this page cover a range of colors, from the blues and purples common in agapanthus to the reds, oranges and yellows found in kangaroo paw and yarrow. Choosing two or three flower colors rather than one keeps a border from reading as flat once several varieties bloom at the same time. White or pale flowered perennials work as a break between stronger colors, especially in a bed viewed at dusk when pale petals stay visible longer than dark ones. Flower color is listed on each product page alongside bloom season, which makes it possible to plan a border around a color scheme instead of buying whatever is blooming that week.
Perennial plants stay in the ground and regrow from an existing root system, while a bed of reseeding annuals starts over from seed or a new nursery plant every year, which costs more in both money and labor over time. Most of the perennials on this page are evergreen and hold their foliage through a mild winter, giving a bed year-round structure that a bare annual bed lacks between plantings. A smaller group is deciduous and dies back to the ground in a hard frost, then regrows from the same root system once temperatures warm, which still counts as the same plant rather than a replacement. That distinction, evergreen versus deciduous, matters more in Rosamond's colder winters than in a milder coastal yard.
Agapanthus care is straightforward: plant in full sun to light part shade, water deeply during the growing season and let the top few inches of soil dry between waterings once the clump is established. Most varieties sold here are evergreen and hold their strap-like foliage through a mild winter, though a few deciduous types die back to the ground in a hard frost and return in spring. A light feeding with a balanced fertilizer in early spring, before flower stalks emerge, supports a fuller bloom without pushing excess leaf growth at the expense of flowers. See our xeriscape plants collection if you are pairing agapanthus with other low water perennials in the same bed.
