Questions to Ask When Collecting Plants for Your Garden
We have told you how to choose the right plants for the office and for the bathroom at home . Here are a few factors to consider when choosing the right plants for your garden.
Typically you want to account for time and maintenance, and to appreciate this, Apartment Therapy suggests asking the following questions:
How resistant are perennials to your climate zone? They are short-lived and do they need to be replaced after a couple of years?
How often will they need to be watered, and can you install an automatic irrigation system if needed?
Do they require regular pruning, dead pits or trellis trimming throughout the season?
Are they susceptible to pests or diseases, and if so, are there other varieties developed to combat these problems?
Ideally, your answers will give you a clear idea of the time and maintenance required. For more tips on choosing the right plant, see their full post below.
