What are suggested steps after purchasing a perennial?

Once you get the plant home, dig a hole in the ground twice as wide as the pot it’s in. Loosen the soil, and then pat root stimulator on the roots. Plant in the hole at the same depth as it came in the pot, tamp the dirt, water well. While roots are establishing, give your perennials a little extra water if the weather is very dry. Generally speaking, plants need an inch of water a week, be that rain or watering.

Q: What is the difference between annuals and perennials?

Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season (spring – fall/frost). Perennials are plants that live for more than two growing seasons. They die back in winter and re-emerge in spring.
