Planting a Perennial Garden
PLANT PERENNIAL PLANTS SO THAT FLOWERS RETURN YEAR AFTER YEAR WITH MINIMAL MAINTENANCE.
AN EASY WAY TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN
Folks, perennial plants encompass a wide variety of hardy, beautiful, visually unique, and reliable plants when it comes to planting and transplanting. They are a perfect choice if you're new to gardening or simply seeking an attractive landscape throughout the year. Learn how to create a garden with flowers that return every year with the following tips.
DIFFERENT NEEDS FOR DIFFERENT PLANTS
First, choose flowers with a reputation for being resilient and reliable. Beauties like echinaceas, astilbes, coreopsis, creeping phlox, veronicas, and black-eyed Susans are beautiful perennial flowers you can count on. Select a mix of tall and short plants. Plant the tall ones at the back and the shorter ones at the front and sides of your garden.
Most people place their perennial gardens against a backdrop such as fences and garden walls. Try to choose a location that provides at least 6 hours of sunlight each day for your beautiful sun-loving plants. If your area is shadier, plant shade lovers like hostas and bleeding hearts.
Many perennial garden plants require well-draining soil. Where the soil remains moist, plant cardinal flowers and other moisture-loving varieties. Enrich your soil with organic materials like compost.
Perennial plants are hardy and less demanding when it comes to planting or transplanting. Most perennial plants can be planted at any time from the last winter frost until autumn. When planting or replanting, dig a hole two times wider and not deeper than the container, then fill it with soil. Facilitate watering by grouping plants with similar water needs.
Perennial bulbs should be planted according to their flowering season. If you have spring varieties, remember to plant them in the ground in early autumn. Try planting summer-flowering perennial bulbs in early spring when all risk of frost has passed. Always check the plant label for proper planting depth and spacing.
Folks, young perennial plants can be resilient, but they still need plenty of water and nutrients to establish themselves in the soil. You can easily water and feed at the same time with our Plant Force+. When watering, avoid the leaves of perennial plants to prevent diseases and look for a soil consistency that is neither too wet nor too dry.
Remove spent or deformed flowers. This will stimulate the growth of more flowers. After your plants have matured, make sure to apply weed preventer only near the plants listed on the product label. Then, spread 3 inches of mulch around the plants, which will also help prevent weeds by blocking access to sunlight and keeping the soil moist. When your mature perennial plants are not in bloom, you can divide them and create starter plants to plant elsewhere.
