Perennials

Course info

Perennials come in all forms, from herbaceous plants that die down in the winter and re-emerge in spring, to plants that retain their soft-stemmed leafy growth year round. They add excitement and diversity to the landscape or garden as they burst into flower each year. This course teaches you which perennial plants are most popular today, their cultural requirements (ie. feeding, watering, soil requirements, pruning, pest control), and how to use them to create beautiful landscapes. It is a course equally valuable to landscapers, nurserymen, cut flower growers and garden enthusiasts.
