Perennial plants are treasured by gardeners for their durability. Returning to life every year, they do not need to be replanted. As a result, they serve several purposes -- they can be used to provide ground cover for a flowerbed, or even comprise the floral display itself. Careful planning is needed to arrange perennials in your yard, but once you have, you'll find that your garden can be maintained with very little effort.
