Forming a flower garden, gardeners plan that it will delight with its flowering throughout the garden season. Therefore, flowers must be planted so that they not only do not interfere with each other, but also perfectly complement each other.

Planting correctly

In order for the flower garden to bloom practically without interruption during the season, follow these simple rules:

  1. Divide the flower garden into sections - their number depends on how many flowers you plan to plant.
  2. Plant in such a way that the flower bed is visible from all sides, and different types of flowers are presented in different parts.
  3. Be sure to use plants in the flower garden that have a long flowering period, as well as those that bloom several times. For example, daylily, astilba, marigolds bloom for a long time, but lupins can bloom 2 times per season. It is important to cut off dried inflorescences in time.
  4. You can include early flowers in the flower beds: crocuses, daffodils, tulips. They will delight immediately after the snow melts and create a great mood.
  5. Ornamental shrubs look great as part of a flower garden: cinquefoil, chubushnik, viburnum Buldenezh and others. They create shape and mood.
  6. Leave a few empty spots in the flower garden. They will come in handy for future plantings.
  7. Use decorative elements: garden figurines, lanterns, products from natural materials.
