Plant Markers for Perennials Become Companions to Your Flowers
If you’ve invested your money in hardy perennials, then you want your plant markers for perennials to be long-lasting, too. Some people enjoy adding new plants to their yard each year, but others have put in their time, digging flower beds and getting their perennials all set in and labeled with plant markers. Now is the season to sit back and watch those perennials take root and fill in your flower beds.
There are so many wonderful perennials out there—which ones do you choose? Some of the top picks for the most drought-tolerant, hardy, long-lasting beautiful blooms are: Baptisia, Black-eyed Susan, Blanket flower, Coneflower, Daylily, Geraniums and Hibiscus. You’ll have your preference for color and style, but also check the plant’s hardiness. Does it need to be watered frequently or fertilized or can it thrive all summer long with occasional rain? Does it need to be pruned throughout the season or can it just grow like a wildflower?
Research your perennials. Just because you can enjoy them year after year doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to enjoy them week after week. Some perennials, like tulips, only bloom for a short period of time during one season. Others may bloom early in spring and re-bloom in summer or may have constant blooms over a few months. Find perennials which will give long-lasting color, tolerate poor soil and don’t need to be watered by anyone but Mother Nature. Perennials may need the occasional dead-heading and the annual cutting back after their growing season, but beyond that they should give you many more hours of enjoyment than hours of work.
Plant markers for perennials can be the finishing touch. Now that the perennials are in, they can be labeled with as much pride and beauty as if they were in a city’s botanical garden. Garden markers made from 100 percent stainless steel will be long lasting. They don’t rust or wear away with the harsh elements of all seasons. Posts of different heights can blend nicely among the tallest or shortest perennials for a nice up and down flow that compliments your plants, yet still have a uniformity in their stainless steel simplicity.
