Perennials assortment Hartside Nursery
At Hartside Nursery in Alston you'll find the best perennials in Cumbria. Perennials bring a garden to life with movement, colour and scent: an ever-changing tapestry of beauty which marks the passing of the seasons and gives you something new to look at each time you go outside.
Technically a perennial is simply a plant which comes back every year. They don't have woody stems, like a shrub or tree: herbaceous perennials die right down, while evergreens like hellebores and bergenias keep a clump of leaves right through winter. Because they're seasonal you can really ring the changes if you choose carefully, giving your garden colour and interest all year round with perenials from Hartside Nursery.
