What is a Perennial?

FAQ
A perennial is a plant that will live multiple growing seasons, unlike an annual which grows, sets seed, and dies all in one season. Their flowering time is not as long as an annual because the plant must take time out to gather enough strength to overwinter, but the range of flowering times, colors, heights, foliage color, and textures, make for a fascinating plant pallet to work with.

When is the best time to fertilize? How much and what kind do I use?

Houston Area Urban Forestry Council FAQ
Fertilization can be an important aspect of tree care. Trees require certain nutrients (essential elements) to function and grow, some of which are often lacking in urban soils. While fertilizer can often enhance growth, if it is misused or miss-applied it may end up causing more harm than good. Trees with satisfactory growth may not need to be fertilized. When considering fertilizer, it is important to know which nutrients are lacking in the soil and how and when it should be applied.

When is the best time to fertilize Bermuda grass?

Oklahoma Cooperative OSU Extension FAQ
That depends! In pastures that have no cool season grasses in them like ryegrass, fertilizing from Mid April to the first of May would be recommended. If the pasture has ryegrass, fertilizing for the Bermuda growth should take place May 1 to June 1. If fertilized earlier than this the ryegrass will use up that fertilizer before the Bermuda has a chance to begin growing rapidly. If fall forage is needed, fertilizing Bermuda in late august can provide high quality grazing well into December.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO FERTILIZE IN THE SPRING?

Humboldt Rose Society - Frequently Asked Questions
In our cool coastal area, we usually prune the roses in January (and on into February if you have a lot of them or the weather slows down the pruning). At this time the soil is generally too cold for fertilizer to feed the roses. In fact, if fertilizer is applied at this time the winter rains will cause it to leach down to below where the plant roots can access it. Figure on fertilizing around the first of March. Of course if the weather is still really cold you might need to delay it.

Do you ever fertilize them?

Bonsai FAQs
Yes, bonsai receive regular applications of fertilizer throughout the growing season. Because the grower is not attempting to "boost" the plant's growth rate, fertilizer is given at a rate that will insure healthful growth, but not encourage excessive growth. Common water-soluble fertilizers, such as one might use on houseplants, are fine. Slow release organic fertilizers will also work well. Use at the label rate.
