Biennials

Biennial flowers and plants give you the best of both worlds: the long-lasting presence of perennials and the quick reward of annuals. You plant them once, and while they spend their first year quietly establishing roots, in the second year, they burst into bloom with minimal effort on your part. They often self-seed, so they can keep coming back year after year without you lifting a finger. Here you’ll find helpful guides and expert advice to make growing biennials even easier. Whether you’re planting for bold color, pollinator attraction, or a cottage-garden feel, learn from experienced gardeners to help you choose and care for your biennials. Our resources will guide you through everything from selecting the right plants for your growing zone to simple care tips that will keep your garden thriving year after year.
