After planting perennials, you can enjoy a beautiful garden for years. Perennials can be purchased from early spring through autumn and can be planted throughout the year, except during frosty conditions. The ideal time to plant a garden border is in spring or autumn. Moreover, perennials require minimal care. However, proper maintenance is essential to ensure healthy growth and flowering. Planting and caring for perennials is quite easy, and with these tips, you’ll have great results!

Planting Tips for Perennials in Grower’s Pots:

1. First, choose a nice spot where you want to plant your perennial. Then, dig a generous planting hole using a trowel.
2. Gently remove the perennial from the grower’s pot and carefully loosen the roots.
3. Place the plant at the correct height in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Check our product specifications for the ideal planting depth to ensure it’s deep enough.
4. Once the plant is in the hole, fill it with soil and press it down firmly.
5. Finally, water the plant generously. Check regularly to ensure it has enough water, especially in dry conditions, to prevent the perennial from drying out.

EXTRA TIP! In addition to planting depth, spacing between perennials is crucial for the best results. For small plants, a distance of 20 to 25 cm is recommended, while larger plants should be spaced about 50 cm apart.

Caring for Perennials

In spring, it’s time to tidy up your perennials. Cut back any dead stems and remove dead leaves. The reason for doing this in spring is that these can offer some protection during the cold winter months. Leave evergreen perennials that still look healthy untouched. If a perennial looks untidy, cut it back just above the ground; it will soon grow back beautifully. If a perennial hasn’t sprouted by May, it’s likely dead, and you can replace it with something new. TIP! To enjoy continuous blooms, regularly deadhead your perennials by removing spent flowers. This encourages the plant to produce even more blooms.

Perennials in Winter

Most perennials are hardy and suitable for overwintering. Protect perennials in the ground by leaving the garden border untouched until spring. In winter or early spring, spread a layer of compost between the perennials. This improves soil structure and helps retain moisture.
