Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy New Perennial Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant New Perennial Plants

New perennial plants can be planted in either spring or autumn. Spring planting (March to May) allows perennials to establish during the growing season, while autumn planting (September to November) lets them develop strong root systems before winter, ensuring robust growth in the following spring.

How to Plant New Perennial Plants

To plant new perennial plants, select a location with well-drained soil and appropriate sunlight for the plant variety. Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating compost or well-rotted manure. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and fill it back with soil, firming gently around the base. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Space plants according to their mature size to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

How long do New Perennial Plants take to grow

New perennial plants typically take one to two growing seasons to establish fully and reach their mature size. During this time, they will focus on developing strong root systems and foliage. Depending on the variety, many perennials will begin to flower in their first year, with increasingly robust blooms in subsequent years.

Why Grow New Perennial Plants?

Growing new perennial plants offers numerous benefits. Perennials return year after year, providing long-term structure and beauty to your garden. They often require less maintenance than annuals and can be more drought-tolerant once established. With a wide range of colours, textures, and forms, perennials can create dynamic and evolving garden landscapes. New varieties for 2024 bring innovative features and improved performance, making them an excellent addition to any garden.

Where can you grow New Perennial Plants?

New perennial plants can be grown in various garden settings, including beds, borders, rockeries, and containers. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in different soil types and conditions, provided they are planted in well-drained soil and receive appropriate sunlight. Perennials are also excellent for creating pollinator-friendly gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
