About this list

How was this the most popular long-blooming perennials list ranked?

A plant must first match the catalog filters named in the title. Each genus is represented and ranked by its most-saved matching variety, so genera with many cultivars do not receive an automatic advantage.

How do I extend bloom time further?

Deadhead spent flowers before they set seed, feed lightly in midsummer, and combine long bloomers with staggered-season companions so the bed never goes quiet.
