 Every 2 or 3 years, either in the fall or spring, many perennials need to be divided and cleaned up. If over time they are not, they will start to decline in health and flowering ability.
At first, this isn't too big a problem, but sometimes after a while you can wish you had planted something that requires a little less maintenance.
If you want, you can still divide plants for propagation or to control size, but our requirements for the purpose of this Quick Tip, are plants that:
- Don't need to be divided to stay healthy
- That won't grow too thickly or crowd themselves out
- That won't develop woody-type stems or roots that don't over winter well
So here are a few perennials that require no division at all to stay healhty and look great, and will give you some extra choices next time you want to plant something new in your yard or garden.
