 Most of the perennials are sown in spring:

Caring for beautifully blooming flowers

With proper care of perennials, you can achieve beautiful flowering and healthy appearance of plants. Proper care consists in performing certain activities.

Loosening and weeding

Weeding should be carried out constantly to prevent overgrowth, especially insemination of weed grass.

On a note. It is recommended to weed the beds after rain or heavy watering.

Weeds are removed carefully so that no roots remain in the ground. Also, do not forget about loosening. This will help the root system get the right amount of moisture and oxygen. Loose the soil very carefully so as not to damage the roots.

Top dressing and watering

Watering is performed depending on weather conditions. It is important not to allow the soil to dry out, but stagnant water can also lead to death.

It is recommended to apply fertilizers 2 times a season:

  1. In early spring, nitrogen-dominated compounds.
  2. Before flowering, complex fertilizers are applied, which must contain potassium and phosphorus.

Important! Dry fertilizer is evenly distributed over well-moistened soil. You can also water the plants with the addition of fertilizers. The dosage is indicated in the fertilizer instructions.

Mulching

After the first weeding, the soil near the roots is mulched, this will help create more favorable conditions. A layer of mulch of 10 cm is formed from humus or compost.

Important! There are plants in which after 3-4 years the wintering part of the stem grows to a height of up to 10 cm, so mulching is mandatory for them. Such crops include phlox, peonies, lupine, aquilegia and others.

Preparing for winter

Most of the perennials do an excellent job with winter frosts, but even they do not provide additional shelter for the cold period. Winters with little snow and severe frosts are especially dangerous. At the onset of the first frost, the plant should be covered with peat or humus. With a very strong cold snap, you need to additionally cover the plants with spruce branches, autumn foliage or brushwood.
