Choose the right location with adequate sunlight and well-draining soil. Research the specific needs of each perennial variety for optimal growth and health.
Regularly deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed production. Divide overcrowded perennials to maintain vigor and ensure long-term health.
Water perennials deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds, promoting overall plant health.
Monitor for pests and diseases, addressing issues promptly to prevent spread and damage. Consider companion planting to naturally deter pests and enhance plant health.
Feed perennials with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season, following package instructions for application. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm plants instead of promoting growth.
Stay observant and responsive to your perennial garden's needs. Adjust care practices as necessary based on plant performance and environmental conditions for thriving, healthy perennials.
