Perennial flowers to plant in May

May is a busy time of year in the garden. As the weather improves in spring and summer seems not too far away, the to-do list can get longer and longer. 

Near the top of that list will undoubtedly be planting. Whether it is colorful summer bedding plants, half-hardy flowers you have grown from seed, or perennials that took your eye at the garden center – there is lots to plant in May when the risk of frost passes for your location.

Perennials are fantastic flowering plants to add to beds and borders as they can be low maintenance and give you swathes of color year after year, with little effort required. They can be bought as container plants to add to a space, or grown from seed for a budget-friendly and rewarding way to get lots of plants for your garden.
