Seattle Dividing crowded perennials

In Seattle, crowded perennials can lead to a host of gardening issues, from reduced blooming to unhealthy plants. When perennials grow too close together, they compete for nutrients, water, and sunlight, ultimately diminishing their beauty and health. The good news? Dividing these plants is a straightforward solution that can rejuvenate your garden. By separating crowded perennials, you can enhance curb appeal, ensure safety by preventing overgrowth hazards, promote eco-friendliness, and enjoy low-maintenance gardening.
