Move Perennials Around

Gardeners often dig up their perennials (anything that has fibrous roots) carefully and relocate them during late summer or early autumn. What this does is control the plants’ growth and size. Just make sure that you don’t split the plants where they’re blooming. For best results, do this on a cloudy day so the sun won’t dry out the plant or in late afternoon. The plant can start settling in without getting stressed.

Be Careful Of Aggressive Plants

Segregate aggressive plants because these species will overtake your garden. Make sure that they have their own confined space. If you’re clearing an area, look out for hazardous species. Few are worse than hogweed, a seemingly innocent flowering plant that could actually cause burns on the skin. An attractive way to keep plants from spreading is by installing concrete curbing. Plants aren’t usually able to get through a concrete curb.
