A Brief Guide to Biennials and Perennials

Biennials are generally very beautiful plants, with most attractive flowers.

is that their seeding stage produces new plants which will bloom again two years

 later, making it unnecessary to plant additional seeds.

Elizabeth; the bright" yellow peace rose. Get the full story here
