How to Make a Flower Garden
First you want to work the soil up. Use a tiller or shovel to make the soil soft and pliable to plant your bulbs. If you plant before March 30th, your bulbs will come up and bloom in the spring time.It's always also good to buy some ultra rich planting or potting soil and mix with your soil. It gives your plants a shot of fertilizer which makes them come up faster and do better.
Choose Which Type of Flower You Want in Your Flower Garden
Once you have your flower garden's soil worked up and soft to plant, it's now time to decide on what type plants to put in your flower bed.
Annuals- Beautiful because they come in vibrant colors but that's why they are called "annuals", they only live for 1 season and you have to keep re-planting each year.
Perennials- Perennials, often referred to as wildflowers are excellent to plant because they come in lots of varieties of colors from pastels to vibrant colors and they return each spring. You never have to take up perennials from a garden also. They are hardy and prone to experiencing cold weather and drought. When perennial plants gets mature in age, they also reproduce making more of the same type existing plant.You can also choose from sun perennials or shade perennials.
Flower Bulbs - Tulips and Roses are special for a garden. They return each year and most people will not be able to keep heirloom roses for years because they are very prone to blight and other type rose diseases and even though they are highly sought after and aromatic, they are not very hardy. Always opt for knock out roses, they re-bloom all spring and summer long and are very hardy. Yet the Japanese beetle loves these too but they are much hardier than other types of roses by far. Tulips are special and majestic. You can't go wrong with these hardy and regal beauties.
