Abstract

With a steady stream of new perennials to hit the market (and no indication this is slowing down!), it can be quite a challenge to select perennials for your program that will meet your customers needs for great color and beauty that will thrive in their landscape with minimal care.
For a grower whose primary business focus is not perennials, the job of maintaining a worthwhile perennial program can be even more challenging when all the perennials are available in just about every liner size you can imagine.
What is a grower to do with all the choices? There are some excellent perennial plant selections as well as ideas for production specifically for growers looking to find solutions to balancing a profitable perennial program while still maintaining focus on other important aspects of their nursery business.
