If you haven't started a garden journal, now is the time.  Record dates of perennial bloom, how long the flowers last, special cultural requirements, pest and disease problems, and other features.  A perennial garden has a relatively short bloom period, though the plants will display foliage for much of the growing season.  This is one reason to choose varieties that have attractive foliage to add interest and texture to the garden.  By keeping a record of your plant selections, if you can determine if you have the right mix of spring-blooming, summer-blooming, and fall-blooming perennials for an all season display.
