At first, it seems like designing your flower garden is a scary prospect. It's important to get it right from the beginning because once you've planted your flowers, it would be difficult to tear them up if you don't like the layout.
If you're an artist, then coming up with a great garden design may be easy for you. But if you're not an artist, then you may struggle with deciding the colors, which variety to use, and where to put everything. However, you can still design a beautiful flower garden even if you're not an artist or a landscaping professional.
One of the most important parts of designing a flower gardening is texture. It's important to use flowers in a wide variety of heights and shapes. You should include plants with various sizes of flowers, different leave shapes and sizes, etc. When it comes to the aesthetics of the flower garden, variety is important. It's boring to have flowers that are similar to each other.
As you design your garden, you need to keep the seasons in mind. You can either try to keep your garden blooming as much as possible throughout the year or you can focus on a particular season.
You can choose pinks and purples or classic tulip colors like yellow and red if you want your garden to bloom mostly in spring. A very classic color for spring is yellow, and a lot of flowers that are yellow bloom in the spring.
For summer, white and blue are good and you can even make a wonderful garden for the 4th of July if you add red. For your summer garden, you can also use fall and spring colors.
Orange, red, and yellow are usually the colors of fall flower gardens. These colors would look great with the orange and browns of the fall leaves. African Marigolds are wonderful for fall gardens.
It's fine if you don't want to stick with these colors but you do need to make sure your colors look great together. You probably won't want to mix blues, purples and oranges together, for example. Using a wide variety of colors is better for a wildflower garden.
It's fine to use a wide range of colors if you intend to go for the wild, natural look. However, make sure your colors compliment each other well if a refined and elegant garden is what you're after.
Remember that the height of the flowers you plant should vary. If you're planting near a fence or any border, use taller varieties in the back and as you move forward, gradually plant shorter flowers. Then you should plant some sort of very low-lying ornamental grass in the front to act as a border between the flowers and the walkway.
Don't limit your flowers to annuals because each year, they need to be replanted. Perennials should be mixed with annuals. When it comes to flower gardens, one of the best things is how relaxing it can be. It's not relaxing if it's too much work.
