Flowers are reproductive units of certain plants. Every flower has its own beauty but for plants, it serves a critical function of attracting insects during pollination and in some cases, it can also be used by humans as medicine or for food when planted in your garden.
There are creative ways of arranging flowers in your garden or flower bed to make them look beautiful for the whole year. Today, Lamudi Ghana provides tips on how to arrange flowers in your garden:
Theme
Having a fair idea of how each plant will look like when their flowers germinate can determine their location in the garden. Some plants look better when they are clustered while others look even better spaced out and mixed with other flowers. This will provide the planter with the knowledge of planting in a row, symmetrically or in a straight line.
Size and Shape
Flowers with wide petals and long stalks should be planted behind smaller flowers. The plants can also be mixed up in a special design but make sure you don’t allow the larger plants to cover the smaller ones; all plants should be visible.
Colors
The plants should also be arranged in a manner such that pale colours like white and grey are grouped together, while bolder colours like red, yellow and blue should be clustered as well. This gives the flower bed or garden a
much better appearance.
Blooming Times
Plants should be arranged in a manner such that those with different blooming seasons are grouped together. This will keep the flower bed beautiful all year round even when some plants are dried up and brown, others will bloom and will bring your home a bright look.
