Well, sit back, relax, sip a cool drink and let me put forth a case for your consideration. Perennial borders can show a little wear and tear after several years, just like that favorite tee shirt or comfortable pair of shorts. It s the best cure for tired garden areas. It lets us give the garden a facelift and breathe new energy into the garden. The garden becomes rejuvenated, almost as though it went away for a vacation.
Perennials are always on the move.
They grow from year to year into larger clumps. Some will eventually go into decline from becoming over crowded or depleting the nutrient in the soil. Some will develop a disorganized habit of growth and look untidy or ragged. Inevitably all gardens need some overhaul from time to time. Bed renewal entails planning and effort.
