There are many different flowers that you can buy and plant in your garden. These flowers can be annuals, perennials and biennials. You can also buy plants that are in one color combination as well. These types of flowers would look great when they are planted in a manner where you will see how they look throughout the year. Purple flowers are an ideal example of how you can plant a one shaded flower bed.

When you are choosing the various purple flowers you will need to think about the seasonal changes. This is important as some flowers just won’t bloom in winter or some refuse to grow well during summer. The best way to show the beauty of these flowers is to buy a mix of seasonal flowers and the different shades to create a vibrant flower garden.

Your purple flowers don’t have to be confined only to the flower beds they can be planted around trees to provide a dramatic look. You could plant Cloudland Rhododendrons under some trees. The bright purple blue flowers with their silver-grey and green leaves will make the tree stand out even more. You could have Crepe Myrtle growing as a hedge flower.

These purple flowers are summer flowering plants that have large clusters of bright purple flowers that grow on the new tips of the shrub branches. As these shrubs with their clusters of flowers are easy to care for you can see many gardens in warm climates having these shrubs planted in various places.

To bring out the beauty of the Crepe Myrtle’s purple flowers you can plant other flowers under the shrub. You may want to have a carpet of purple and golden crocus planted around the shrub. Another great flower for you to plant in borders and along your garden paths is that of the Day Lily Little Grapette.

This flower has a golden yellow colored center that is surrounded by ruffled purple petals. The dark green foliage provides a perfect background for this stunning flower. To get the most from this purple flower you should plant masses of this Little Grapette flower. This way you will continue to see lots of purple flowers waving in tubs, and edging your flower beds.

These are just a few of the many different purple flowers that you can plant in your garden. With the right care and mixing of flower types through your garden these purple flowers will provide your garden and home with a stunning and elegant look.

I want to decorate my home with real flowers that are able to be maintained indoors and will grow year round. Because we live in an apartment, I am not able to go outside and play with soil and such, but I really would like to get some flowers that I can keep indoors, grow, and maintain.

The flower bed is just filled up with dirt, weeds, and little pcs of rock. First I need to clean it out I guess but do I use the dirt that’s already in there or do put soil down? If you want to know, I live in Charlotte, NC (Zone 7). I want to plant perennial flowers. I’m new to gardening and want to know how prepare the flower bed, what type of soil I need (if necessary) and any tips on types of flowers to plant. Thanks alot!

mimieydus asked:


Hello,
I’m pretty new to gardening and I decided to pick up a small potted snapdragon at a local nursery garden. I’m very worried about a few things and was hoping for some advice. So far I have placed the flower into a larger pot with some potting soil and it spends the day in full sun.. I have been watering it with a small cup of water when the soil feels a little dry. It has blossomed a bit more flowers which is a good sign, but I am concerned about:

1.whether or not it needs some feed or fertilizer
2. how much sun does it need – how can tell if its exposed to too much or too little?
3. one or two of the blossoms are dry/browning a bit – is this something to worry about?
4. how much water does it need (I don’t want to drown it but I don’t want to deprive it either)
5. how do I know when its time to place it in a larger pot? (currently in a 6 or 8 inch..)

I’m going to see how well I do with this flower before I start buying more plants, so hopefully all goes well.. the only problem then would be where would I find more information about other types of flower care? Does anyone have any good sites or books to recommend?

Thanks for reading, all help is appreciated :)

(note: I live in florida but it hasn’t been that hot lately considering its winter time.. does anyone know what types of flowers do well in florida weather?)
