Quick Tips for a Great Flower Garden

by Holly Mitchell

So, you've been thinking about buying some flowers and creating a little garden for yourself to maintain. Before you decide to go out and buy some flowers on instinct, there are a few things you need to know.

The first thing that you should decide is how long you want your flowers. For this, you must consider their lifespan. Some flowers (called Annuals) will only last for one season, so you will have to keep buying them every year in order for them to grow back. Other flowers (called Perennials) will grow back year after year, though you should make sure they are arranged in a formation that you won't get bored of. You can also mix these two types of flowers as well.
If you live in an area where there are a lot of trees around, creating a large amount of shade, you need to be careful what type of flower you buy. Some flowers require lots of sunlight in order to grow and flourish. However, some flowers are find with some shade. There are many varieties of flowers though, and I'm sure you will find the perfect kind for you to grow properly.

Once you have found the perfect flowers, you want to make sure you arrange them in a way where they will be colorful and tasteful. Directions on planting the flowers should be on the back of the seed package. If you have purchased transplants, which are tiny flowers that have already sprouted and are sold at flower markets, then you may want to lay them out before you plant. This way, you will be able to rearrange and tell which way the flowers look best to you. Before the summer is up, I'm sure you will have a lovely garden that you and others can certainly enjoy.
