If you plant all six of them, you can be pretty well assured of con- tinuous bloom here in York Region right through from spring until late fall. That’s the nice thing about perennials â€"â€" you can get out in the garden early, whereas annuals won’t be ready to set out for awhile. They’re easy to start and don't require anything special in the way of care or feeding. Once established, they’ll bring beautiful bloom back to the garden year after year. By Lynda Nykor A visit to local nur‘ series and garden centres this past weekend in- dicated many perennials are available for plan- ting. I've been a lover and “tryer-out" of perennials for years. I’ve come to the conclusion there are six that are really ideal. This half-dozen will fill in a good-sized spot in the garden fairly quickly, but won‘t overpower everything else you've planted. Harsh winters don't bother them unduly, either. The iris is the first to bloom. This has to be the easiest and most rewarding of all peren- nials.

Irisis nowadays come in a wide range of colors, with only true reds missing from the spec- trum they offer. Peonies and poppies bloom next. Both of these are among the loveliest sights in the late spring or early summer garden. And dividing will yield you more plants. Poppies will spread to form good-sized clumps in about two years. Peonies can be a little difficult to get started. Once established, they go on undisturbed for years.
