Perennials are hardy varieties of flowers that come back every year without needing to be replanted or requiring any extra work on your part. During the off-season, these flowers and their stems will die back. You can hardly even tell your once beautiful plant is there. Instead of just dying and looking like ugly clumps in your garden, they fade back into the soil. When their season returns for them to bloom, you'll notice entirely new flowers spring up just where last years blooms faded. Perennial plants are divided into two large groups, those that are woody and those that are herbaceous . Perennials typically grow structures that allow them to adapt to living from one year to the next. These structures include bulbs, tubers, woody crowns, rhizomes plus others.
Many flowering shrubs attract birds with their berries and provide brilliant fall foliage. Flowering shrubs are at their best when blooming and can stand alone as specimens used for focal points. Flowering shrubs are usually deciduous, although azalea and rhododendron flowering shrubs are exceptions.
