I would like ones that live for years and years , not the ones that die off in a few years. Also I need low matenience. Thanks in advance.
What are some flowering perennials that bloom from early spring till late summer or fall?
Knock out roses would be a very good choice for you. They will bloom from mid spring to fall frost. Same with hydrangea - try the endless summer variety.
If you plant the following plants in sun, you will have blooms of one or the other in succession from early spring til frost:
daffodils
tulips
allium
iris
poppies
shasta daisies
phlox
monarda
false indigo
asclepias
blackeyed susan
purple coneflower
In shade, plant:
helleborus
hosta
bleeding heart
tiarella
beardtongue
ferns
epimedium
solomon's seal
fall-blooming anemones
toad lilies
Reply:Dianthus

I have the ones in the above picture in that color, in dark red, in pink and white. The bloom profusely starting in late May until a frost.
Reply:Yeah, that is a good question. I remember trying to find the answer 30 years ago when I had my first garden.
As a previous answerer already stated, there is no plant that blooms continuously... except (laughing) dandelions.
Good luck....let us all know if you find that magical mythical plant.
Reply:There is not a plant that blooms from spring to fall.That is why you have to plant many types of flowers for continuous blooming.
Reply:gardenias be a good choice
Reply:Either do the successive planting, or use annuals. That's their purpose.
