Proper Planning Of Flower Beds And Borders For Maximum Beauty And Enjoyment

From the start, you can plan to have perennials blooming at different seasons, (for example, the iris, which reaches the peak of its bloom just as the peony season begins). Visit your local independent nursery to find the plants that do best in your geographic area.

Once you have decided on the perennials you will use and know accurately when they bloom you can then plan to fill in the gaps that are left by their passing with prolific, quick-growing annuals. If you have the room you can plan to have a potting bed, perhaps in your vegetable garden or a sheltered spot behind your garden shed or garage, where you can grow extra annuals and those perennials which do not mind being transplanted.
