To improve the growth of perennials, deadhead fading blooms regularly to encourage new growth. Divide overcrowded perennial plants every few years to promote better air circulation and prevent diseases. Water perennials deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root development. Fertilize perennials with a slow-release fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth. Prune back dead or damaged foliage to keep perennials looking tidy and healthy.
