Prepare the area by weeding and watering the perennial flowers. Apply a 2-4 inch layer of mulch around the plants, leaving space around the stems to prevent rot.
Benefits of Mulching
Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature for perennial flowers. It also adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down over time.
Choosing the Right Mulch
Opt for organic mulches like shredded leaves, straw, or wood chips for perennial flowers. Avoid using thick layers of mulch that can suffocate the plants.
