How To Grow & Care For Large Perennials
Tall and showy doesn’t mean high-maintenance. Here’s how to keep your large perennials thriving:
- Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter
- Choose full sun for most, but provide partial shade to full shade for sensitive varieties and cultivars grown in hot regions
- Stake tall bloomers like Delphiniums or Lilies to prevent flopping
- Pinch back tips of Chrysanthemums and Asters to promote bushier, denser growth
- Deadhead regularly to keep plants looking fresh and to encourage more blooms (how-to guide on deadheading)
- Use the Finger Test to check soil moisture and prevent overwatering
Once established, most large perennials are surprisingly low-maintenance and thrive with minimal intervention.
