If you’re perennials are looking less than perky, don’t automatically reach for the hose.
Perennials, like lawns, need about an inch of water a week. Some may wilt during the heat of the day, this is their way of conserving moisture. Now’s a good time to dig and divide your Spring blooming perennials if they need it. This way they’re roots will establish well and they’ll flower again next spring. Add a couple of inches of mulch to help conserve moisture.
