Blooms are the adornment of our gardens, pleasing us with their richness of colours and shapes. Some species of perennials are fragrant, they are attractive to butterflies and other insects. All flower lovers care about the decorative effect of perennials and that they bloom as long as possible.

Lavender. Lavender blooms in the summer and that for almost 2 months.

Perennials with decorative leaves

These perennials create the same effect in the garden like the flowers. Their coloured leaves create a beautiful effect from spring to autumn. They are decorative throughout the season.
