If you love gardening but don’t want to start fresh every spring, perennials are the way to go! These hardy plants return year after year, making them a staple in Western New York gardens.

At The New Leaf Greenhouse & Nursery, we carefully select perennials that thrive in our local climate. Here are some of our top picks for long-lasting beauty:

🌸 Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) – These cheerful yellow flowers bloom from summer to fall and are highly resistant to cold.
🌿 Hostas – Perfect for shady areas, hostas provide lush foliage and come in a variety of colors and sizes.
🌷 Daylilies – A resilient flower that blooms in waves throughout summer, requiring minimal care.
🌾 Coneflowers (Echinacea) – Not only do these add vibrant color, but they also attract pollinators like butterflies and bees.
🌳 Winterberry Holly – A fantastic shrub for winter interest, producing bright red berries that last into the snowy months.

By choosing cold-hardy perennials, you can create a low-maintenance, year-round garden that adapts beautifully to Western New York’s changing seasons. Stop by The New Leaf Greenhouse & Nursery to find the perfect perennials for your garden!
