The planting in flower beds and gardens of annuals may be a few weeks away, but homeowners can start getting their perennial plants looking better right now. Larry Maas of Maas Floral & Greenhouse in Sturgeon Bay shares a few tips on tending to perennials to help them thrive and grow this spring.

Maas adds that watering plants is essential in early spring for perennials especially considering how dry weather conditions have been lately.  He notes that fertilizing is best done when plants show a little growth on them.
