The Judith A. DeLapa Perennial Garden features the colors, textures and forms of flowering and nonflowering herbaceous perennials, bulbs and ornamental grasses. Ten island beds totaling 6,500 square feet informally display a multitude of diverse perennials. Because the perennials bloom at different times, the display is ever-changing, starting as early as March and ending in November, sometimes later!

The Perennial Garden is an educational resource for students, industry professionals and the public. Plants are labeled with their scientific, cultivar, and common names. Thus, gardeners can learn the names of those plants that pique their curiosity.
