Flower Garden Plants

Flower garden plants, the best perennnials for your flower garden landscaping. Like old friend, perennial flowers grow more beautiful as years go by.

Listed below are many perernnial flower favorites for various types of flower gardens.

Perennial plants will be the backbone of your flower garden because they have staying power.

Their leaves die back as winter approaches, but they come back each year.

Some plants are short-lived, but old favorites like daylilies, hostas, and peonies can thrive for decades.

Daylilies and Rusian Sage Flowers

Start a Flower Garden

When you begin your flower garden, it’s easy to think that once your plants are in the ground, weeding, watering and cutting back each season finishes your gardening work.

But here is what really happens: The first year your new plants are underwhelming, the clumps small and flowers are sparse.

By the second year, you’ll see more flowers and better growth.

But in the third season your plants look like they’re on steroids, and you look like an accomplished gardener.

The Right Plants For Your Garden

Some choices are purely aesthetic such as matching plant combinations and colors.

Others are horticultural for example, what grows best in your garden conditions.

The more closely you meet your plants light requirements, soil and moisture levels, the more successful your flower garden will be.
