Growing
The basic starting point
for all gardens and gardeners is knowing how to grow and look after your own
plants successfully. Gardening is a skill that is learnt over many years, but
some of the essential elements can be established quite quickly. The following
brief guide will help you to gain an understanding of general plant growing
techniques, covering sections like seeds, seedlings, plants, cuttings and related
subjects.
What are Perenial Plants?
Perennials are the type
of plant that will return year after year, growing in size until they reach
full maturity. They offer good value for money in this respect, and will become
a regular feature in the garden. You should therefore carefully consider the
type of perennial plants you decide to purchase. Many perennials lose their
vigour after 3-4 years, and should be replaced. Perennial plants can be divided
to produce new plants, or they may be grown from seeds or cuttings. It is worth
visiting you local suppliers for the best advice about the ranges available.
