Why Grow Perennials?

Gardeners like perennials as they're durable, attractive and require less attention. Perennials don't go away in one season like annuals do. So you don't need to replant your garden every year which saves you time and money.

Perennials Are Long-Living Native Plants

The perennials are also hardy plants that are tolerant of all weather types, which is a benefit for gardeners who reside in erratic regions. These are some of the advantages of perennials: Perennials last a long time, have longevity, and will thrive for years, guaranteeing your garden year-round beauty and nourishment.

Perennials are Low Maintenance

Easy to care for After they are established, perennials do not need much attention like annuals or biennials. They are drought-tolerant and do not need much water. Reasonably priced: Perennials are also a very economical option for growing since they don't have to be replanted each year like annuals. Keep wildlife around: Evergreens can bring in bees and butterflies to the garden and preserve the habitat.

Perennials Are Available In Many Different Sizes and Forms

Diversity: Perennial plants come in various shades

Soil quality: Perennials can be good for the soil by providing organic material and improving soil quality.

Carbon capture: Perennial plants will take carbon from the atmosphere and offset global warming.

Choosing the Right Site for Planting Perennials

It's very important to get your perennials where they want to grow and thrive. The majority of perennials prefer sunny, minimum 6-hour days. Some perennials, though, like hostas and ferns, like shade.

The best spot for each perennial should be in the right position so that they get the correct sunlight. Not only do perennials need sunlight, but they also need soil. The majority of perennials like draining soil that has lots of organic material. Yet a few perennials, like clematis and hydrangeas, like slightly acidic soil.

Remember to pH test your soil and correct it prior to putting in perennials. Prep Soil for Perennials Soil preparation is necessary for growing your perennials well. You start by checking the pH of your soil and making sure it's acidic or alkaline.
