Why Choose Perennials for Your Calgary Garden?

Perennials are an excellent choice for Calgary gardens due to their ability to survive harsh winters and thrive year after year. Unlike annuals that need replanting each season, perennials establish strong root systems, making them more resilient and low maintenance.

Tips for Successful Perennial Planting

1. Choose the Right Location

Ensure plants get the appropriate amount of sun or shade. Most perennials thrive in full sun, but some prefer partial shade.

2. Prepare the Soil

Calgary’s soil tends to be clay-heavy, so adding compost or organic matter can improve drainage and fertility.

3. Water Wisely

While perennials are generally low-maintenance, newly planted ones need regular watering until they establish their root systems.

4. Mulch for Protection

Applying a layer of mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots from extreme temperature changes.

5. Prune and Divide

Cut back dead foliage in the fall or early spring. Some perennials benefit from being divided every few years to maintain vigor.

Pollinator-Friendly Perennials Recommendation

Attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds is essential for a healthy and thriving garden. Here are some excellent pollinator-friendly perennials for Calgary.
