Please note: Our Ships Now perennials are still waking up from dormancy. In the spring, as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase, perennials begin to emerge from dormancy, pushing new shoots from their roots. Most dormant plants start showing new growth in late March or early April, depending on the specific plant and local weather conditions.
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer, and cut back in the spring before new growth appears.
