Perennial plants are amazing – they give the garden beauty and food for wildlife plus they create an ever-changing tapestry of color.   On top of that, they are a good investment since they come back year after year.  Lisa Graff’s two-acre English-style garden at Lux Perennials Nursery showcases vibrant long-blooming perennials that provide color from early spring through late fall. In this energizing talk, you’ll explore a curated selection of perennials known for their spectacular, season-long blooms—and learn how to combine and care for them to create a stunning, nonstop display.   Lisa will share her favorite long-blooming best sellers as well as the unique varieties that create that ‘wow’ factor, including easiest to grow, most hardy, longest blooming, most unique.   She’ll share tips on helping perennials thrive throughout the growing seasons and overwinter successfully.  Whether you’re planning a new perennial bed or looking to enhance an existing garden, this session will combine practical, research-backed guidance with vivid landscape ideas to help you build a colorful, long-lasting display.
