Perennial Plants of the Year E
ach year the Perennial Plant Association awards a perennial plant the distinction and honor of Perennial Plant of the Year. These deservedly popular perennials are tested for garden performance all over the country. They are proven to be some of the best perennials available today.

In our effort to grow and market the best perennials for Central New York, we have featured all of these Perennial Plants of the Year since the inception of the award in 1990. Little York Plantation has grown and offered these special plants for the past 11 years and would like you to know more about them.
