A incredible number of folk now totally comprehend that a gorgeous well maintained garden can add a large amount of extra cash worth to their home. It is also true to say that, a wisely designed backyard can seriously increase the amount of useable space for yourself and your family. For these reasons, and some others besides, landscaping has, over time, increased to become an extremely popular pastime. High on the list for nearly all landscapers is a gorgeous yearly display of colorful and varied flowers.

While many landscape gardeners opt to create color by using annual flowers, the remainder decide that using  perennial garden plants is the best method.  Annual flowers are those plants which {grow, flower and die|germinate, develop, bloom and die} all in the one year whereas garden perennials will continue to bloom year after year. Obviously there are plus points and minus points for both annual flowers and garden perennials and gardening is all about choosing the the best blend of the two.

Many people have heart warming memories of long gone days spent in a grandmother's garden enjoying the wonderous aromas of many old fashioned popular perennials. Unfortunately it can be rather problematic for even the most keen gardener (including some seasoned professionals) to emulate old fashioned gardens because many of the specific types/cultivars can no longer be purchased. You will be happy to hear that many of the older cultivars have been replaced by strains which are more resistant to disease, so you can often find suitable replacements which have little or no (other) differences to the older plant.

Old Fashioned Perennial Plants

One of the most popular garden perennials used in garden landscaping today is the Yarrow which first appeared in American gardens during colonial times when it was brought over from Europe. Achillea is a very old fashioned plant used since the times of the Greek hero Achilles (from whom the plant gains it's name) who used it to treat his soldiers. Achillea is able to halt bleeding and works incredibly well at healing wounds.

Achillea ptarmica

Achillea millefolium has beautiful flattish groups of small flowers that look rather daisy like. Achillea  come with flower heads in a selection of colors ranging from different shades of yellows, whites and pinks. Yarrow are thought by most landscape gardeners to be considerably easy garden perennials to grow. They are so simple to propagate because they are rather invasive plants which can be spotted growing on the poorest of ground. If you wish to see success with Yarrow you only need to avoid cultivating in boggy or poorly drained soil. The plants are fantastic at tolerating drought conditions. Achillea ptarmica and Achillea millefolium are two of the more popular varieties but there are many other types available.
