Look at some of these flower-garden-ideas and learn how to amplify the color of the flowers. This page will help you to understand the function of a flower garden. If you are creating a flower garden design your job will be to create contrast between flowers and other textures in order to make the colors jump out at you. The other textures may be other flowers or solid masses such as a wall, landscape boulders, or the pillar of a house. In this photo there are several backdrops for contrast. This short piece of pickett fence is a great example of a backdrop
Here these daylillies in front of the boulder and the privacy wall show off the color of the flowers. Sometimes a group of one kind of flower is really cool.
Day lilies can bloom all summer long in a cool weather climate if they are maintained and fertilized correctly. Like other bulb type perennials sometimes the bulbs must be dug up in the fall and separated to promote more growth. This also gives a gardener the opportunity to add some fertilizer to the soil and aerate the soil, which will also promote plant growth.
This is my home by the way- can you tell what kind of flower I like best?
Many flower-garden-ideas start with boulders or architectural features. In a southwest design we will use boulders and architecture as the pallet to display the many colors of the desert. A flower garden design that uses desert plants will require the least amount of attention, usually a pruning and some fertilizer in the winter is all that is necessary to promote colorful springtime growth.
Flower gardens come in all different shapes and styles. Varying sizes of plants and heights give depth and intensity to a flower garden. The mass of one thing or another could be a dry stack wall or a natural rock design that covers a pillar.
A flagstone path cutting through this garden adds sophistication as well as another texture and color. The precast fountain provides another of the senses, the trickle of water falling. many flower gardens have simple fountains to provide relaxation to the atmosphere.
