Benefits of Planting Perennials and When to Plant Them
There are several benefits of planting Perennials in your home / garden. Unlike annual plants that need to be replanted every year, perennials return year after year, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice for landscaping. Perennials come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, allowing you to create diverse and visually appealing landscapes or gardens. Here are the other benefits of planting perennials and when to plant them.
Benefits of Adding Perennials to your Home & Garden:
- Healthy Root System
- Added Property Value
- Less Maintenance
- More Bang for Your Buck
- Make a Longer Statement
Property Value
Well-designed landscapes with a variety of perennials will enhance the curb appeal and overall value of your property. With perennials you can create diverse and visually appealing landscapes or gardens.
Healthy Root System
The first season that perennials are planted, they establish their root system. With proper watering habits, weeding, and fertilizing, the roots will grow strong and deep. Once the roots are established, perennials will last several seasons.
Less Maintenance
Since perennials last several seasons, you don’t need to plant every single year. Perennials can last three years or more! This will allow you to save money and time by not having to replant every year like you would have to with annuals. This also means no clearing of last year’s plants, no mulching, no annual planting. It’s done for multiple seasons!
More Bang for Your Buck
Another benefit to perennials is that it is more cost effective. Annuals make you buy new plants every year, perennials do not. You can pick out the plants that are going to last you multiple seasons and for more than one year as well.
Make a Longer Statement
Perennials can be planted to last over the course of multiple seasons. It is possible to have a garden that is blooming at different times. This allows your garden to change across the seasons, making a bigger statement piece. Unlike annual plants that need to be replanted every year, perennials return year after year, making them a cost-effective and sustainable choice for landscaping.

When is the best time plant perennials in New Jersey?
In New Jersey the best time to plant perennials is either in the spring or fall. In the spring, they will have plenty of rain and sun to establish their roots. In the fall, perennials will spend the winter establishing their roots deep within the soil. This way next spring they will grow in healthier than ever.
- Spring: Early spring, after the last frost date, is an ideal time to plant many perennials. This allows them to establish roots before the heat of summer sets in. Typically, March through May is a good time for spring planting.
- Fall: Planting perennials in the fall, usually from September to November, is another excellent option. The soil is still warm, which encourages root growth, while cooler air temperatures reduce stress on the plants. Additionally, fall planting allows the roots to establish themselves before winter dormancy, giving the plants a head start in the following growing season.
Overall, planting perennials in New Jersey can offer a multitude of benefits, from their ability to thrive in the local climate and aesthetic appeal.
