To enhance the growth of your perennials, deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote new blooms. For pest control, consider using insecticidal soap or hand-picking pests like aphids. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth. Prune back dead or damaged growth in the fall to prepare them for winter.

When selecting plants for your garden, consider incorporating native species.
