Disease Resistant Purple Coneflower Perennials

Perennials Add Color Year After Year

Perennials are a welcome addition to any garden since they blossom year after year to provide ongoing color and charm. Perennials will live more than two years, unlike annuals, which only live a single year, and biennials, which live two years. At Lowe’s, you’ll find a beautiful selection of perennial flowers, plants, shrubs and grasses to match your garden’s needs.

Start With Easy-to-Grow Varieties

Whether you’re just starting to garden or simply want less to maintain, you may want to consider adding low-maintenance perennial plants and flowers to your yard. Some examples of durable options include hibiscus perennials, hydrangeas, echinacea and foxglove. These easy-to-grow options are favorites for any perennial garden. Though these plants are hardy, you’ll still want to check individual requirements for each type. Some prefer full sun, while others like more shade.

Another thing to consider is zone ranges for perennials. Always choose plants and flowers that perform well in the geographic zone you live in. To learn more about your hardiness zone, check out our guide Learn Your Hardiness Zone to Find the Best Plants

Looking for low-maintenance grass? Check out a perennial ryegrass mix. Ideal for high-traffic areas, it establishes quickly to repair bare spots and grows thicker, greener grass compared to other grass types.

Shop by Sun or Shade

Before planting anything in your garden, consider how much sun your yard receives daily. The good news is that we have a wide variety of full-sun perennials as well as perennial flowers for shade. Use our filters to shop by light requirements, including full sun (six or more hours of direct sun), partial sun (three to six hours of morning sun) and shade (one to three hours of morning sun).

Looking for flowers that bloom all summer in the shade? A few shade-loving perennial varieties include geraniums, foxglove and garden phlox.
