Perennials

Welcome to the Perennials Department! Perennials are important to every garden because of their vast uses, along with the great fact that they come back year after year. Fragrance, pollinator capability, ground cover, soil stabilization, and a full range of color palettes are just a few of the characteristics that make them great for your garden. The team at Van Wilgen’s researches all perennials to make sure only the very best are brought in to help create the dream garden for each customer’s needs and desires. We also grow our own line of perennials right here on the property. These are plants are tried and true as great plants that are well adapted to our growing region. We take pride in working with each customer individually to help them find the exact plants that would be perfect for their garden.
