Selecting Perennials for Commercial Sites
Most specification problems on perennial plantings trace back to exposure, drainage, or hardiness zone. A few practical checks before you order:
- Match each variety to its exposure, from full sun to full shade
- Confirm drainage. Many drought tolerant perennials require well drained soil and decline in heavy, wet ground
- Check the zone map for the installation site, not the design office
- Stagger bloom windows across early summer, midsummer, and late summer so beds hold color
- Include varieties with winter interest where the site stays visible year-round
- Note deer resistant and rabbit resistant selections on unfenced properties
Our team knows the material in our inventory and how it performs regionally. If a spec calls for something running short, we can talk through substitutions that hold the design intent.

Perennial FAQs
Does Tree Source sell perennials to homeowners?
No. Tree Source is a wholesale nursery serving professional buyers, including landscape contractors, nursery buyers, garden centers, municipalities, landscape architects, and general contractors. Our pricing, quantities, and logistics are built around commercial and large residential installation work. Homeowners are better served by a local garden center.
What makes a plant a perennial?
Perennials grow, flower, and set seed each year while maintaining their root structures, so they return season after season. Herbaceous perennials die back to the ground in late fall or late winter and push new growth again in spring, unlike annuals, which finish their lifecycle in a single growing season, or biennials, which take two years. Lifespan varies widely by variety, ranging from a few years to many decades. Classification can also shift with climate, so a plant treated as a perennial in one region may behave as an annual in another.
Which perennials hold up best with little maintenance?
Daylilies, sedum, catmint, and yarrow tolerate tough conditions and get by on minimal care once their roots are established. Yarrow and Anthemis tinctoria perform well even in poor soil, and sedum handles extended dry stretches without much supplemental water. These varieties are common picks for HOA communities, streetscapes, and commercial properties where maintenance visits are limited. Rich soil and regular watering are not required for most of them, though good drainage usually is.
How much water do drought tolerant perennials need?
Drought tolerant perennials need little supplemental water once established, but that establishment period still matters. Plan on consistent irrigation through the first season while roots develop, then taper toward the low-water schedule the design assumes. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture and moderate soil temperature during that window. Very well drained soil is important for most of these varieties, since standing water causes more losses than dry conditions do.
Can Tree Source handle bulk perennial orders?
Yes. Bulk perennial orders are routine here. Our team can source large quantities across the regional network, work toward consistent sizing throughout a project, and coordinate delivery around your installation phases. Contact us with your counts and target dates for volume pricing and sourcing support.
When is the best time to order perennials?
Early planning improves availability. Demand climbs in early spring and again in late spring as installation crews ramp up, and specific varieties can tighten quickly during those windows. Booking ahead of your install date gives our team room to pull from multiple locations and grower partners if needed. Sharing project details prior to delivery also helps us coordinate inventory and logistics on multi-phase or multi-location jobs.
How quickly can perennials be delivered?
Most orders arrive within roughly a week, depending on location, quantity, and current inventory. Delivery goes directly to the project site, or to a contractor yard when that works better for your crews. Plants leave our farms and rewholesale locations healthy, true to form, and disease-free at pickup or delivery.
Can you find perennials that are not in the online catalog?
Often, yes. Our grower partner network extends well beyond what is posted at any given moment, and sourcing hard-to-find material is a regular part of what our team does. Send us the variety, size, and quantity you need and we will check availability across the network. We cannot promise every request, but you will get a straight answer quickly.
