Perennials

Here at Ryeland Gardens we pride ourselves on carrying a wide variety of proven, hardy perennials. Sun or shade, wet or dry, and everywhere in between, there are at least several options to choose from. Most of them are grown on site or locally sourced, and almost all of them can be seen in our display gardens so you can get a clearer picture of how they will perform in the landscape. There has been and continues to be a tremendous amount of new perennial introductions every year, and while we have tried to list all that we offer, you can be sure that there are a few new items that are still under evaluation and not yet listed. We welcome you to browse our growing areas while you're here, and by all means, be sure to have a good look around the display gardens!
