Choose the right location with adequate sunlight and well-draining soil. Research the specific needs of each perennial variety for optimal growth.
Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and prevent seed production. Divide overcrowded perennials to maintain vigor and prevent disease.
Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds, promoting overall plant health.
Fertilize perennials sparingly in early spring or late fall with a balanced fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to leggy growth and reduced flowering.
Monitor for pests and diseases regularly. Remove any affected leaves or plants promptly to prevent the spread of issues to other perennials in the garden.
Stay observant and responsive to the changing needs of your perennials throughout the growing season. Enjoy the beauty and resilience of your healthy perennial garden.
