Sun-Loving Perennials

The best perennials for full sun are those that use the extra light to produce bigger blooms and stronger stems. If your garden has open areas that get at least six hours of direct sunlight, these plants are the most reliable way to fill those spaces with consistent, season-long colour.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
