Question: I don't have time for landscape maintenance, so should I plant perennials?
Answer: Since perennials come up every year, beginners sometimes wonder if they don't require care. Could perennials be the easy answer for the on-the-go crowd that still wants to grow plants?
Not really. Perennials do require care. If you choose to grow perennials, choose perennials for the right reasons -- and labor savings is not one of them! It is not even true that perennials are guaranteed to come up every year. If they are not maintained properly, you can very easily lose some perennials. Don't think perennials are the beginner's "easy way out"!
