Long-lasting, lushly blooming perennials are every garden lover's dream. When planting, you have to give them the best start to flower life.

With these basic rules you can offer the flowers the best conditions. The ideal time for planting perennials is spring or autumn, when the ground is already or still warm. Avoid planting in extreme weather conditions such as heat or even frost as this increases plant stress. Cutting back perennials before planting is not a must, but is particularly useful for taller plants so that the plant can concentrate on rooting and not on leaf formation. If you want to cultivate perennials in a container, do not use ready-made arrangements, but rather put them together yourself. Because the pots in stores are often too densely populated with several plants - the rule here is: take them out and transplant them into a larger pot.
