Growing Tips

Perennial Care

Obtaining a perennial garden such as the picture shows only requires a few easy steps that must be followed

  • perennials love constant moisture but well drained soil
  • feed regularly with soluable fertilizer, 2x per month
  • remove dead flowers as they fade to encourage more bloom
  • purchase newer varieties which are more disease resistant
  • incorporate liberal amounts of peatmoss to the soil, mulch your garden against hot dry summers which stop blooming
  • choose varieties that will bring enjoyment in spring as well as in summer and fall
  • try to use colourful foliage and texture, place plants so that tall varieties go to the back of the border and shorter varieties go toward the front
  • perhaps you could even plant an all pink or blue garden
