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 and the world:
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 – Marigolds 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 Glory – 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. Zinnia – 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 – There’s 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.
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.
