Prepare the area by weeding and watering the perennial flowers. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the plants, keeping it a few inches away from the stems.
Benefits of Mulching
Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature for healthier perennial flowers. It also adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down over time.
Types of Mulch
Choose organic mulches like shredded leaves or wood chips for perennial flowers. Avoid using thick layers of mulch that can suffocate the plants and attract pests.
