Where kitchens are the heart of the home, gardens are the soul. Everyone love’s a bright, colorful garden that provides an essence of spring as long as possible, leading to the question I am asked most often – which plants flower all year round?

The unfortunate answer is, none of them.

Flowers are just one part of plant growth and go through cycles like everything else. But, there are a few plants that flower almost all year, or for more than one season at least, to give you that spring feeling for as long as possible.

What’s the point of planting if your plants die within weeks or months? If you’re going through all the trouble of digging up your garden you might as well plant something with a little endurance, something that’s willing to sprout all over again once the bitter winter frost has passed.

These twelve plants could very well be your next long-lasting perennial.

1. Moonbeam (Coreopsis)

If we’re being honest, this one’s first because I love its name. Moonbeam grows in clumps around one to two feet tall, they are known for their density and feature yellow flowers similar to daisies.

If you shear them in the middle of summer, you’ll promote their regrowth in the fall.

A low-maintenance plant with violet flowers and deep purple veins, the Orion Cranesbill will bloom from mid-spring to early summer.

They plant best when grouped and should not be pruned until it has flowered. If you live in a particularly deer-infested area, this plant is not their favorite.

I won’t say it repels them, but it is doubtful your four-legged friends will munch on them. It has many good landscaping qualities and can be planted in containers and along borders.
