Lawn Care Tip: Plant Perennials

If you want to substitute part of your lawn with flowers, you should avoid annuals to cut down on maintenance. You’ll be saving more money in the long run by choosing perennial flowers that will bloom every year.

Fantastic examples include lavender, daylilies, peonies, foxgloves, chrysanthemums, and black-eyed Susans. Perennials typically don’t bloom for a whole season as annuals do. Most are only in bloom for a few weeks to a few months.

But planting a mix of perennials allows you to get an ever-changing array of flowers throughout the season. And as an added bonus, you can split many perennials. Just dig up the plant, break it up into clumps, and replant the clusters.

This way, you get multiple plants for the price of one! You can even exchange your divided plants with neighbors and friends to add a bit more variety to your flower garden.

If you end up having a surplus of these beautiful flowers, just snip some off and put them in a vase inside your home!
