Spring is planting time for perennials.

Some species are permanent bloomers that produce their flowers for months.

You can find the most beautiful specimens here.

When the weather is good and the location is good, perennials are grateful flowering plants.

And in most cases they are also very easy to care for and provide excellent bee pastures.

The better off they are, the more beautiful and longer they will bloom.

But some species naturally have a particularly long endurance; they produce flowers for four months or even half a year.

So if you want to have a big impact with little effort, plant a colorful selection of hardy perennials in spring.

Since you probably won't only plant ever-flowering perennial species in your garden, you should make sure that you distribute them well in the beds.

Otherwise it will only bloom in one spot, while the splendor elsewhere will be over after just a few weeks because perennials, such as carnations or peonies, only have a limited blooming phase.

The following permanent bloomers with a flowering period from May or June are suitable for planting in spring:

Perennial care in spring

Spring, starting in March, is a good time to plant perennials.

Before they go into the ground, you should loosen the soil a little and remove weeds.

Existing perennials can now be easily divided and propagated in this way - but this can also be done well in autumn.

Either way, the plants need a portion of fertilizer so that they have the nutrients they need for new growth and lots of flowers.

Organic fertilizers such as compost and horn shavings are ideal, but a long-term mineral fertilizer is also suitable.
