Low Maintenance Perennials

Not every weekend needs to be spent deadheading. These easy perennial picks (Overdam Feather Reed Grass, Apex Pink Salvia, Rosy Return Daylily, and Guacamole Hosta) earn their keep with minimal fuss. Ornamental grasses add winter interest when the garden bed has gone dormant, and salvia keeps pollinators like bees and butterflies busy all summer. Plant them once, water them in, and let their root system handle the rest. Perfect for busy gardeners who want beauty without the grind.

Early spring and early fall are both excellent. Spring planting gives roots time to establish before summer heat sets in, while fall planting (at least six weeks before the first hard frost) lets plants settle in so they’re ready to return the following growing season. Avoid planting during the hottest stretch of summer if you can.

Water deeply two to three times per week for the first month, then taper off as roots establish. Add two to three inches of mulch around (not touching) the crown to lock in moisture and moderate soil temperature. Most perennials benefit from a light spring feeding and a simple fall cleanup to prep for winter.

Most perennials benefit from being divided every three to four years to keep them healthy and blooming strong. Daylilies, hostas, and ornamental grasses are the usual candidates. Dig and divide in early spring or fall when the plant is dormant, then replant the divisions elsewhere in your garden bed or share them with a neighbor! Free plants are one of the best perks of growing perennials.

Yes, many perennials grow beautifully in containers! Ensure the container has good drainage and use high-quality soil to allow roots to spread. Container planting allows for flexibility in moving plants around or adding color to patios and decks.
