Is it possible to do succession planting with perennials?
While succession planting is typically associated with annual crops, you can apply similar principles to perennials by staggering the planting of different varieties with varying bloom or harvest times. For example, plant different varieties of strawberries that fruit at different times of the season, or mix early, mid, and late-season flowering perennials for continuous blooms.
