Perennial Growing Hints

Back to Plants grown

Let nature be your guide

Perennials contribute so much to the garden because:
nThey flower for long periods at a time
nThey are quick and easy to establish
nEasy to propagate
nThey add a cottage garden look to a garden
nA lot are drought tolerant
nGood foliage and form as well as flowers
nA lot have aromatic foliage making them unattractive to pests
nCan be easily ‘popped’ into the garden as fillers

Cultivation of perennials:
nPerennials last about 2 or 3 years, so take cuttings (usually when you prune them)
nPrune them when they have finished flowering
nThrive in most soils. Not PH fussy
nAdd organic matter and mulch, condition and aerate the soil
nGood drainage important - raised beds
nGood sunlight, some will take some shade
nSome are brittle and need protection from wind
