When planting your Perennial Ground Cover Collection, ensure the selected area receives adequate sunlight or shade, depending on the plants' preferences. Prior to planting, prepare the soil by loosening it and adding organic matter for improved drainage and fertility. Plant each ground cover perennial according to its individual requirements for spacing and depth, as specified on the plant label or accompanying instructions. Keep in mind the specific needs of each species within the collection, as they may vary in terms of soil type, moisture level, and sun exposure. Regularly monitor and adjust care practices accordingly.

We recommend watering your Perennial Ground Cover Collection regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Adjust the frequency of watering based on weather conditions and the moisture needs of individual species. Apply a balanced fertiliser sparingly during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and blooming. Avoid over-fertilising, as excessive nutrients can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowering. Monitor the plants closely for signs of nutrient deficiency or excess, adjusting feeding as needed to maintain optimal health and vigour.

General care for your Perennial Ground Cover Collection involves regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Keep an eye out for any weeds and promptly remove them to prevent competition for nutrients and space. Prune or trim the ground cover plants as needed to maintain their desired shape and size, and to encourage dense growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding where necessary or preferred. Pay attention to the specific requirements of each species in the collection, as individual plants may have unique care needs.
