Helpful Hint: when planting perennials it is important to build a good foundation for your plants to live & produce. Make sure your soil is well weeded & ammended with compost.

Every spring your garden needs a good application of bonemeal & a slow release fertilizer & compost if possible. Remeber not to fertilze your perennials after August 1st as this will cause fresh new growth & can lead to winter kill. If you want to divide or move your perennials it is always best to do so in the early spring when you see new growth just starting(that is for those with heavy soil as we have here in Lunenburg county)..If you must move plants when they are fully grown & in full leaf, do so on an overcast rainy day, this will help to reduce shock.
