Reliable plants, they come back stronger and bigger when winter turns to spring, ready to start another spectacular show.

Selecting the right perennial can be daunting for New England gardeners. If you are looking for beautiful, low-maintenance, and hardy plants that thrive in moist or wet locations, you may want to consider these top performing perennials which will happily carry color through the garden.
