You have probably learned from your mother and grandmother that the best perennials for a flower garden are the ones that stay green year round. Most perennials do well in most conditions and are fairly easy to maintain. The best thing about planting perennials is that you will be able to move them if you decide you no longer want them after planting. Many gardeners opt for planting roses, however there are many more beautiful options available. Roses can be hardy and beautiful if they are properly cared for, but there are many other beautiful plants that can also be perennial such as gladioli, lavender, pansies, anthurium, and strelitzia.

Perennial flowers also require less attention than those that come annual. They will not take up much of your time and also require very little upkeep. Perennial flowers come in various shapes and forms such as clusters, florals, and bouquets. A variety of perennials can be planted in the same garden such as hibiscus, Canterbury bells, and lupine. There are some plants that are better for a specific season only such as tulips, daffodils, and violets.

Full sunlight is vital for plants to grow and bloom. Even certain flowers require full sun in order to grow and bloom. If you do not have full sun in your garden, you can try placing small lights directly on the plant. This will help the flower garden appear to be more colorful during the summer months. Smaller lights need to be located at least six to ten feet away from the flower garden in order to provide the necessary exposure for blooming.

One should place their flowering bulbs, plants, and trees in a location which receives four to six hours of full sun throughout the day. There are many things you can do to ensure proper lighting. Make sure there is no nearby tree or power line that could interfere. The flower bulbs should also be placed in an area that does not accumulate excess heat, winds, or snow. These things will affect how much sunlight the plant receives and therefore affect the color of the flowers.

Different flowers require different amounts of sunlight depending on the color of their flower. Most people find that blue roses need approximately four hours of sun while white roses only require three. Purple roses require far less sunlight than most other flowers. A flower garden can appear very beautiful with pink roses blooming all throughout the year.

There are many choices you have when it comes to decorating your flower garden. You can place them in pots and frame them, or you can hang them on your porch. It is important that you remember to relocate them to a location where they will receive the right amount of sunlight. Too much or too little sunlight can make a difference in the growth of the flower garden.

Perennial flowers for full sun can be planted in any season. In early spring, you can plant lilies, daffodils, and baby dandelions. In late summer, you can plant pansies, crocuses, and violets. In fall, you can plant a mixture of crabgrass, hydrangeas, and evergreens. The best perennials for full sun are those that grow and bloom for at least four years.

Some flowers such as tulips bloom twice a year. They bloom in May and June and then stop growing until August or September. Others such as peonies bloom only once a year. Both of these species are great plants to have around in the fall. They provide color as well as the heat that is needed to get them to bloom again.
