Perennial and Bulb Care (Perennials)

Healthy Growth. Strong Blooms. Year-After-Year Beauty.

🌼 What Is Perennial and Bulb Care?

Perennial and Bulb Care is the service where we maintain, divide, clean up, protect, and revive plants that return every year — like hostas, daylilies, black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, irises, tulips, daffodils, peonies, and more.

This service keeps your long-term plants:

• Healthy

• Blooming strong

• Free from overcrowding

• Protected through Cincinnati winters

• Looking intentional instead of wild and messy

If your perennials look overgrown, weak, or unbalanced — this is for you.

💡 Why Perennial Care Matters (Especially in Cincinnati)

Perennials don’t stay perfect on their own. Cincinnati’s climate puts them through:

• Heavy spring rain

• Hot, humid summers

• Freeze-thaw cycles

• Soil compaction in clay-heavy areas

• Pests

• Overcrowding from old root systems

Proper perennial maintenance:

• Increases bloom quality

• Prevents plant suffocation

• Reduces fungal issues

• Keeps beds from looking wild

• Helps plants survive winter and bounce back bigger

Your perennials are investments — care keeps them thriving.
