April is an excellent month to add perennial flowers to your garden for beautiful blooms that will last for years. There is a wide selection of native North American perennials that can be planted this month, not only dazzling with their flowers but also attracting pollinators and wildlife to your garden.

Native plants such as asters, goldenrod, coreopsis, phlox, and others can be planted once the ground is workable in spring, quickly establishing roots in warm, moist soil. Incorporating native plants will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, transforming your yard into a wildlife haven.
