Taking care of your

Perennials

A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. The term is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials. The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials

Here some general instructions on taking care of your Perennials:

Light:
Most perennials prefer full sun to partial shade, but there are also some varieties that can tolerate full shade. It's important to research the specific needs of your chosen perennial to ensure it gets the right amount of sunlight.
Soil:
Perennials thrive in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged. You can improve the quality of your soil by adding compost or other organic matter.
Watering:
Water your perennials deeply once a week, or more frequently in hot and dry weather. Be sure to water at the base of the plant and avoid getting the leaves wet, as this can promote fungal growth.
Fertilization:
Most perennials benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, every 4-6 weeks.
Pruning:
Deadheading, or removing spent blooms, can help promote continued flowering.
