Container-grown perennials are the easiest to transplant successfully, but they are also the most expensive type of perennials as you need to buy already growing perennials from nurseries. Plant them in the spring, or the fall if you chose a plant that blooms in the summer. Just place them in a hole that is the same depth and twice as wide as the container you got. Fill the hole with soil and compost, then water them immediately afterwards. Fertilize for a week after planting, and then just once a year during spring. Most perennials do not require much water, so water them only when the soil is completely dry. Use organic mulch to keep weeds to a minimum and help retain moisture in the soil.

Bare-root perennials are harder to transplant but cheaper than container-grown plants. Plant them in the spring, or the fall if you chose a plant that blooms in the summer. Before planting, soak them in water. Place them in a hole in the ground and gently fill the hole with soil and compost, then water them immediately afterwards. Fertilize for a week after planting, and then just once a year during spring. Most perennials do not require much water, so water them only when the soil is completely dry. Use organic mulch to keep weeds to a minimum and help retain moisture in the soil.

Growing perennials from seeds is the cheapest, but also the most difficult way to grow perennial flowers. Start growing them indoors, during winter in small pots. When spring comes and they sprout and develop, leaves transplant them in your garden outdoors. Fertilize them just once a year during spring. Most perennials do not require much water, so water them only when the soil is completely dry. Use organic mulch to keep weeds to a minimum and help retain moisture in the soil.

Vegetables like artichoke, asparagus, and rhubarb can be grown as perennials. Differing from vegetable to vegetable, the time for planting is either in the spring or in the fall. Water them regularly during the first two years after planting and use organic mulch to suppress weeds. Fertilize them in spring and fall. Give perennial vegetables at least two years before the first harvest so that they can produce deep roots. Vegetables are vulnerable to pests, so use intercropping to protect them.

Mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, etc. are perennial herbs. These types of edible plants can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. If you're transplanting them outside, do it in the spring, when the frosty days have passed. Most perennial herbs love water, so water them deeply once a week. Use organic mulch to suppress weeds. Trim the perennials once in a while so that they don't grow too wide. Herbs can be vulnerable to pests, so make sure to protect them.

Most fruits are perennials and can be grown in the garden. Lots of them have specific environmental needs like a certain type of soil, pH levels of the soil, climate, lighting, etc. If you wish to grow any specific fruit tree you should ask your seedling grower about the conditions it needs to grow.
