Perennials that stay in one place for several years in a row manage to deplete the soil. Therefore, they are advised to regularly replant, this should be done outside the flowering period, in spring or autumn. Autumn planting is practiced more often - perennials quickly take root in a new place and, with the onset of spring, start up active growth.
