Just as their name says, perennials are a type of plant that comes back every year. They typically live for over two years, producing seeds each year. Then, they die back when frost occurs and sprout new growth again the next spring. Certainly, perennials can be a wise investment in your landscaping. What goes into the ground as just a few leaves and twigs has the potential to grow into a tall, vibrant plant steadily over time. Perennials can eventually form to the shape of your own landscape, coming back every year to beautify your yard.
Perennials reliably bloom at a specific time of the season. With knowledge of their blooming window and growth rate, the design of your perennial garden can display a mixture of textures, colors and shapes every season. Optimize your perennials as a type of cut flower, anticipating they’ll return the following year. There are some perennials that re-bloom, after a pruning, even in the same year. After a perennial’s ability to bloom depletes, their leaves still continue their vibrant display, retaining energy inside their root systems for the next growth season.
Annuals are a popular type of plant that go through their whole seed-to-flower life cycle within one growth season. All of the plant’s leaves, stems and roots die yearly. It’s only the plant’s dormant seed which bridges the distance from one generation to the next. Annual plants include several garden flowers such as cosmos, peonies and geraniums along with vegetables and wildflowers.
Within the garden center at Whispering Hills is a varied selection of both rare and popular annuals that are ready to enhance landscapes of any shape and size. From grasses, and flowers to vegetables and herbs, you’ll find them here!
Whispering Hills carries a vast and varied selection of coniferous and deciduous trees that are ready for delivery and planting by our experienced team. They’re available in containers or in ball-and-burlap arrangements, depending upon size. We utilize pea gravel in our nursery to ensure our stock receives proper and consistent hydration. Even though it’s a process that can be time-consuming, it keeps our trees healthy and always ready for planting.
Shade Trees

Evergreen
Fruit Trees
Shrubs are woody, relatively small plants with multiple stems that are usually smaller than most trees. Comparable to an herbaceous perennial, shrubs – after planting – will thrive throughout the growing seasons and then die off in the wintertime. Then, shrubs grow back once again for many years. They’re ideal for borders surrounding a property, creating a privacy screen and adding more height to landscaping. Shrubs are able to maintain their sturdy character for seasons to come.
Whispering Hills features a unique selection of shrubs in pots or ball-and-burlap arrangements.
Broadleaf Evergreens
Shrubs
Without a doubt, evergreen trees provide landscapes with color, appealing texture and an interesting aesthetic that lasts all year. They’re useful as hedges, specimens, privacy screens, windbreaks and as backdrops for flowering plants.
Whispering Hills offers a variety of beautiful evergreens, the biggest in the area, ranging from smaller arborvitae to durable pines that grow as high as 80 feet tall!
Professional landscape design is the first step in realizing your dream landscape and we are here to help through the entire process.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
