Anchor Your Las Vegas Landscaping with Perennials

If you do not have a lot of money or money to spend on your landscaping, then consider perennials. These plants come back year-after-year with very little care. Therefore, you do not have the expense of buying new plants every year. Before you rush to the nursery, think about what perennials will add to your landscaping throughout the year in Las Vegas. Think of these perennials as the backbone of your landscaping

Spring

Often times, perennials are some of the earliest flowers to bloom in the spring. The dainty flowers on Western columbine make it a welcome addition in many settings in the spring. You are likely to love the long spiky flowers on salvia plants in the late spring and early summer. Salvia is available in a variety of colors, and it is very low maintenance.

Summer

Warm summer temperatures can make it difficult to find flowers that will not wilt in the heat. One great choice is datura that put on white flowers in the late spring that lasts until fall in full sun as long as they have well-drained soil. Four o’ clock plants stand up to most conditions, and they are a favorite of hummingbirds.

Fall

While the wonderful aroma of Mexican tarragon makes it a favorite throughout the year, this plant’s yellow flowers are particularly beautiful in the fall when other plants are starting to fade. Coneflowers start blooming in late summer and keep blooming until a hard frost arrives in Las Vegas.

Winter

The agave plant stays green throughout the year, and its bold round shape adds an interesting contrast to other evergreen plants in your landscaping. Like agave, thornless prickly pear adds a beautiful green color to your garden throughout the winter months.

Adding these wonderful perennials to your Las Vegas backyard landscaping ensures that you have beautiful color throughout the year without needing to invest in new plants annually. Make sure to check the growing conditions so that you provide them with the sunlight, water, and nutrients that they need to thrive.
