🌱 How to Care for Perennials & Flowering Plants

✔ Watering: Most perennials need 1-2 waterings per week. Annuals dry out faster and may need daily watering in summer.
✔ Sunlight Needs: 🌞 Full sun plants need 6+ hours, while 🌿 shade plants thrive in 4 hours or less.
Fertilizing: Use slow-release fertilizer in spring for perennials, and bloom-boosting fertilizers for annuals.
Mulching: Apply a 2-3” layer of mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadheading: Removing spent flowers encourages longer blooming. Some plants self-clean and do not require deadheading.

💡 Pro Tip: Divide perennials every few years to maintain plant health and prevent overcrowding.
