Collection: Sun Perennials
Vibrant Blooms & Effortless Performance
Sun perennials are the workhorses of sunny borders, delivering months of color, pollinator attraction, and low-maintenance beauty. Our selection includes proven performers that thrive in full sun exposure—from early-season bloomers to late-summer stalwarts that extend the garden's display through frost. These reliable varieties return year after year, building presence and value with minimal intervention.
Why Sun Perennials Excel
- Extended bloom periods: Sequential flowering from spring through fall creates continuous color and garden interest
- Heat & drought tolerance: Adapted to full sun exposure and dry conditions once established
- Pollinator magnets: Flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, creating dynamic garden ecosystems
- Low-maintenance performance: Return reliably each year, require minimal care, and increase in size and impact over time
Design Strategies
Layer sun perennials by height, bloom time, and color to create depth and extend seasonal interest. Combine early bloomers like salvia and coreopsis with mid-season performers such as echinacea and rudbeckia, then finish with late-season asters and sedums. Use repetition to create rhythm, and pair bold flower forms with fine-textured ornamental grasses for contrast.
Care Essentials
Plant in well-drained soil with full sun exposure—at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water consistently during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature and develop deep root systems. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering and maintain tidy appearance. Divide clump-forming varieties every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Cut back foliage in late winter to make way for fresh spring growth.
