Perennial flowers thrive with deep, infrequent watering. Water deeply once a week to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance.
Avoid frequent shallow watering which promotes shallow roots and weak plants. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and reduce evaporation.
Water in the morning to allow foliage to dry during the day, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. Use a soaker hose for targeted watering.
Monitor soil moisture by checking a few inches below the surface. Adjust watering frequency based on weather conditions and plant needs.
Consider the specific water requirements of each perennial flower variety. Some may prefer drier conditions while others thrive in consistently moist soil.
Healthy perennial flowers start with proper watering. By following these tips, you can ensure your garden blooms beautifully throughout the season.
