MAKE your garden sing with Perennials!!

Caring for Perennials

Caring for your perennials as they grow helps will help ensure their blooming return the next year. These tips will help you do just that. Avoid overfertilizing sun-loving prairie plants like coneflowers, yarrow, and coreopsis. Excess fertilizer stimulates taller growth, making these plants more likely to weaken and flop over.

Pinching is one of the handiest things you can do in the garden. Removing the stem tip, with a pinch of your fingernails or with pruning shears, makes plants more compact and bushy.
