Perennial Plant Articles
Welcome to our on-line plant articles page. Here you will find a series of in-depth articles about an array of wonderful garden perennials from Arisaema to Tricyrtis as well as other topics. Many of these are reprints of articles that we have written for publication in various venues over the years, but several were written specifically for this website. These are not the typical on-line plant articles which are short and fluffy, but instead often go into great detail...you know, the stuff that everyone says is worthless on a website. We think you will find a wealth of information about garden perennials in these articles, and we thank the other authors that have also allowed their work to be republished here. -tony
