"Create an Ever-Blooming Perennial Garden with These Ideas"
Designing an ever-blooming perennial garden involves planting bulbs, flowers, and flowering shrubs with varying bloom times and colors. The first step is identifying your USDA plant hardiness zone and choosing plants that will survive the seasons. Researching native plant species and considering the purpose and vantage point of your garden can also help with design. Understanding your garden site's conditions, such as light patterns and water drainage, is important when choosing plants. Categorizing plant choices by bloom time, height, and color can help with organization. Once planted, regular watering, deadheading, and monitoring for pests and stress can help maximize bloom times.
