Yes! I spent some of my Xmas money on new perennials and a couple of shrubs. I haven't bought any perennials since we bought this house and have just filled flower beds with things that self seed.
Had a lovely day the other day starting to plant them out, and I've got a new shady bed nearly ready to be planted up so I've been collecting plants for that bed too.
Much more enjoyable than vegetables, and a lot prettier too!
