Perennial flower gardening in the south, can be both rewarding and challenging. We have a long growing season that is wonderful for growing many different perennials, but our plants are often challenged by the heat of the summer and the wacky southern winters that can see temperatures go from the 70′s to the 20′s in less than twenty four hours. Whether your flower garden is large or small or your plans involve a sunny bed or a shady woodland garden you will find that southern gardeners have a wide variety of easy to grow perennial plants to choose from to create a beautiful perennial garden.
