When planting a garden
there are many questions which you must ask yourself before you begin. Where
are you going to plant it, do you have the garden equipment to do so and how
big do you want your garden to be? When do flowers bloom and what are their
heights? These are all very important questions, however they mean very little
if you have not yet decided which types of flowers you want to plant. There are
many to choose from and don’t le anybody tell you which ones you can and
can’t plant. Gardens are unique and fascinating to look at because each one
is unique it its own way.
There are endless possibilities of flowers to
choose from but if you are unsure of which types of flowers are known to look
best in gardens, keep reading and you will find out. The following is a list of
the five most popular types of garden flowers chosen by gardeners from all over
the United States:
1. Cosmos - These flowers have the ability to grow anywhere
from 12 inches to 4 feet tall. Cosmos are perfect for cutting gardens and are
often picked out of gardens and used in flower arrangements.
2. Marigold can be
found in yellow, orange, red or a combination of all colors. This type of
flower blooms in 45 to 50 days from sowing and very rarely requires additional
water than what the rain provides.
3. Morning glories have heart shaped leaves and are
available in a variety of colors including white, blue, red, pink and lavender.
This type of flower has the capability to become more than ten feet high.
4. Zinnias are traditional, old fashioned flowers which are
constantly blooming all season. If there is not a lot of rain, this type of
flower will require watering on a consistent basis but try to get water on the
foliage (leaves) as this can cause mold which can potentially cause the plant
to die.
5. Sunflowers no
better flower for your garden than the sunflower. Sunflowers have
yellowish-orange petal with a black circle in the middle. These flowers can
grow to be as tall as 6 feet or possibly even higher depending on the flower
itself.
In order for your garden to flourish successfully, you will
have to maintain it and keep it healthy on a daily basis. Watering cans,
pruning shears, gloves and spades are all types of gardening equipment which
will assist you in keeping your garden in good condition. These pieces of
equipment are very important and are relatively inexpensive.
The types of flowers you choose will have a large impact on
the overall outcome of your garden. The list above was provided as a guideline
for novice
gardeners who area unsure of which flowers may be most adaptable to a
garden atmosphere.
Which
flowers you choose will ultimately be your choice and regardless of the
kinds or colors of your flowers, your garden will be a wonderful piece of work
for everyone to admire.
Thank-you,
