Best Biennial Garden Flowers

Several colorful varieties of annual and perennial flowers are available yearly by nearly all garden centers and internet-based nurseries. Annuals are always popular because they are usually in bloom and grow quickly to form colorful beds within a few weeks. Perennials exhibit a longer waiting time to flower but are reliable re-bloomers each year.

There is another type of garden flower classified as biennials which some gardeners either neglect or deliberately avoid growing for various reasons. Why do we find fault with them? Is it because they disappoint some gardeners by blooming in the second growing season and dying by fall? They also produce excessive seeds and cannot replenish energy for another productive growing season as perennials do. But annuals do the same thing.

Biennials are also tall-growing plants. Many will exceed four feet or more, an unfavorable size for some gardeners. They used to grow in well-established gardens, but today, many people need more encouragement, resources, time, and commitment to raising them from seed. Nurseries and large garden centers usually neglect to offer us potted biennial plants. Fortunately, mail-order nurseries offer some popular types, but there are many more to enjoy.

Does all this negative publicity scare you from growing (and ultimately enjoying) these historically adored garden plants? Well, I hope not! If you wish to see outstandingly beautiful flowers in your garden, give the following biennial plants described in this ebook your undivided attention and admiration.

Don't forget them. See what has been missing in your flower gardens.

About the Author

G. Edwin Varner grew up on a farm, helping his father in the crop fields and assisting his mother in the flower and vegetable gardens. This experience and learning led him to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Botany.

He successfully owned and operated a fragrant flower mail-order nursery for twenty years. Unlike most mail-order nurseries publishing colorful but expensive pictorial catalogs, his frugal catalog extensively described the flowers he grew. He once said, “I write a thousand words worth a picture in my catalogs.” Today, he has the same style of writing (thankfully with fewer words) through a variety of enjoyable and informative ebooks. This time, the ebooks include color photos of each flower.

He encourages you to cultivate something unique and beautiful in your gardens. His motto is “Read about it, see it, grow it and enjoy it!”

G. Edwin Varner owns Green Thumb Publications and lives in a rural area of northeastern Ohio, USA.
