IMPACTFULperennials -Part 2 of our coverage of the 2023 California Spring Trials looks at some powerful perennials

摘要

The new perennials showcased at CAST 2023 mostly have one thing in common and that is the ability to have great ornamental value in the first year. Many of the perennials are being tested under Zone 5 or lower winter conditions to evaluate true perennial potential. Many of the plants highlighted here have been tested for winter hardiness to at least a USDA Zone 5. In the few instances I have mentioned less winter hardy perennials, it is because of their unique appearance and/or great ornamental potential as an annual.
