Perennial Plants Are Long Lasting, Low Maintenance

We weren't all born with green thumbs. Fortunately, with perennials all you need is a smart plan. Sears features a range of gardening products from Ames, Botanical Interest, Craftsman and other trusted brands to help turn any plot of land into a blooming success -- year after year.

Perennial flowers supply a gorgeous array of color. Botanical Interest, a top seed supplier, offers packets of single seed types plus beautiful blends of Black Eyed Susans, Shasta Daisies, Forget-Me-Nots, and other flowers that complement one another. In cool climates, perennial seeds should be planted three to six weeks before the last frost is expected. In mild climates, the seeds can be sown anytime during the cooler months of late fall to early spring.

During the growing season, most perennials benefit from the application of organic mulch. Mulch helps to maintain the moisture level of soil while also smothering weeds. Many gardeners have mulch readily available at home; compost, grass clippings, and a variety of other organic materials can be used to keep perennials healthy. Additionally, Sears sells mulches that are guaranteed to have both beautiful, long-lasting color and high nutrient contents.

When mulch is applied as directed, most perennials can do well with little fertilizer. To reduce the risk of over-fertilizing, choose an organic fertilizer with low nitrogen. In the early spring, place a handful of fertilizer in a ring around the perennials. Repeat the application at six-week intervals until late summer. Altogether, no more than five pounds of fertilizer should be used per 100 square feet.

As perennials grow and flower, some of the taller plants tend to fall over. You can avoid this problem by using one of two strategies plus a bit of twine. One is to locate the plants such that other plants, a fence, or another structure will naturally support them. The alternative is to carefully place stakes in the soil, taking care to not damage the roots, when the plants are small. As the plants grow, fasten them to the stakes. There are many attractive commercial options for garden stakes, some complete with whimsical adornments of fairies, ladybugs, and the like, but pieces of wood and bamboo from around the home can work just as well.

Year after year, gardening with perennials provides a beautiful payoff for relatively little labor -- and everything needed is right at Sears. Enjoy!
