Perennials, or plants that return and put on a show year after year, are considered by many to be the superstars of the backyard garden. These come-back friends accent and complement the bones of your green space, which typically consists of woody trees and shrubs.

Their vast array of shapes, sizes, and blossoms in every color of the rainbow make these plants a landscaping must-have. What's more, their beauty blends into any garden style—from cottage to xeriscape—and you'll find a handful of options no matter what kind of sun exposure you have. But if you have limited shade in your garden, perennials that prefer full sun are the way to go—and there are so many varieties to choose from. Look to these spring-blooming varieties and relish their beauty at the dawn of the growing season.
