 | Cut back old stems and flowers in late fall for spring-flowering perennials or early spring for autumn-flowering perennials. |
| In early spring, apply an organic fertilizer to the soil around each plant. |
| In early spring, mulch around but not on top of the plants with 3 inches of organic compost. |
| Cut old flower stems off spring-blooming plants to a place on the stem just above where you see new leaves growing. This will encourage the plant to bloom again. |
