My web site is about easy to grow perennials for all seasons, gardening ideas, and how to plan a flower garden with beds and borders.
I love gardening, and have many years of experience growing plants and flowers successfully. You could call me an expert gardener.
Designing and selecting plants for different garden situations is the one thing I enjoy doing the most.
I also know how to design and plan beds and borders that have color the entire growing season, and are beautiful.
You’ll find many pre-planned beds and borders for many situations that I personally designed, with detailed planting instructions.
You’ll also find pictures of gardens and detailed plant and flower information.
Below is a picture of me, Annelie Piccino, in my garden of roses and perennials. Gardening and growing perennials and roses is my passion in life, and I am a proud member of the American Rose Society and The Gardening Club of Los Angeles.

You can always count on perennial plants and flowers to provide interest in your garden from early spring until late fall.
I love the way they always emerge from the gorund at the same time every year to give me so much pleasure and beauty.
Growing Information
The main reason to grow recurrent plants and flowers is because of their longevity.
If you provide proper plant care, they can live longer than 15 years.
The Peony, a lovely fragrant spring flowering perennial, can live over one hundred years.
I have one in my garden that was planted in 1925, and it still flowers with abundance.
Most of these plants should be divided every 3-4 years, to continue to produce lots of blooms.
Dividing the plants gives you the opportunity to add to your plant collection or share them with friends and family.
In a garden with many perennial plants, you’ll have flowers that come back year after year.
They provide the garden with its foundation plants that give grand perfomances that can be counted on to peak at different times of the growing season.
