Perennial Growing Hints

Perennials are a wonderful addition to the garden as they last two or more years and flower consistently and almost immediately after propagating so they make wonderful fillers.  They do need to be trimmed after flowering and will usually flower several times a year.

Perennials are easy to propagate
When to propagate is the key, for sub-tropical perennials propagate in spring or summer. For temperate or Mediterranean plants propagate in autumn or winter, when the nights are cooler.

Take green stem cuttings just below a node at about pencil thickness.  Bury the node just below the soil in a pot and keep moist in a shady position.

Some perennials like Solidago and lamb’s ears are best propagated by division.
