Perennial plants are a good choice, especially if you don't want to change seasonal flowers every few months. If they are also long-term bloomers, all the better! Which long-flowering perennials could you choose to beautify your garden?
Garden perennials have the property of dying above ground in winter and then sprouting again in spring. You have to cut them and ideally divide them, but other than that you don't need much to produce the flowers. Which flowers bloom the longest?
Tall, low and ground cover varieties
The selection is quite large and you can design the back areas of the bed with long-flowering perennials as well as create beautiful flower carpets with ground-covering varieties.

The scabiosis (Scabiosa), because it tolerates dry periods without any problems.
