Shrubs and perennials are usually a bit more costly than annuals, but they also tend to be some of the most durable plants in our gardens. When selecting shrubs and perennials it makes sense to try and maximize the impact of these plants. While structure and foliage are certainly critical for creating a beautiful garden, the main attraction for most of us are their flowers. If you are looking to maximize the flower power from your shrubs and perennials, the plants showcased here are a great place to start.

The plants listed are all long blooming. In some cases, we are showcasing a specific plant within a series as being special. That is the case with the Double Play^® series of Spirea. The series is great, and they all flower prolifically, but Double Play Doozie^® Spirea is extra-long blooming. In other instances, we are showcasing a series of plants rather than a specific variety. Either way, these plants will all help maximize color in your garden for the long haul.
