Caring Tips for Thriving Perennial Flower Gardens

Regular Watering: While many perennials are drought-tolerant once established, they still require regular watering, especially during dry spells

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around perennial plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming and prevent the plants from expending energy on seed production. 

Pruning and Dividing: Prune back dead or diseased foliage and stems to promote healthy growth and improve air circulation around the plants.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or a slow-release organic fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and blooming

Pest and Disease Management: Monitor perennial plants regularly for signs of pests, such as aphids, spider mites, or caterpillars, and take appropriate measures to control infestations

Staking and Support: Some tall or floppy perennials may require staking or support to prevent them from bending or breaking under their own weight or from strong winds
