There is a wide range of climates where you can grow perennials
. No matter where you live, there are bound to be plenty of perennials for you to choose from for the garden. When choosing what to grow, I usually plant the taller perennials in the back with shorter ones near the front of the bed of flowers. It is good practice to vary the types of plants and leaf color. This often makes for a more well rounded garden. It is also good to consider the season that all the different bulbs will bloom in. It is nice to have a variety of bloom times throughout the year so you always have something blooming. Allium bulbs and bearded iris bulbs both have good bloom times, this contributes to their popularity. It is always a good idea to plan the garden before starting any of your planting. This makes everything easier in the long run. It can be hard on plants to keep moving them all the time, but once in a while is okay. Again, most bulbs like lots of sun and good soil. Have fun planting.
