About this app

The best flower garden designs incorporate several types of blooms, including long-living perennials, short-term but beautiful annuals, seasonal bulbs, ornamental grasses, and vines. Before you begin your flower garden design, know how different garden plant types perform in the garden, what they can offer for color and texture, and their limitations. Learn about the best flowers for your garden with our app. Your garden's style can also help you set parameters for size and design. Different flower garden design styles lend themselves to different types of plants. For example, a contemporary-leaning landscape may be more rigorous in material selection and flowerbed shape, while a cottage-style garden encourages exuberance and a mix-and-match approach.

Determine the Garden's Shape and Size. Flowers can be arranged in beds of almost any shape and size, from expansive rectangles to petite corner beds. To get an idea of how your flower garden will fit into the rest of your landscape, use a garden hose to define the edges. Once you've decided on your flower garden's design, shape, and size, it's time to put your plant research into action. Consider focal points, flower sizes, year-round interest, bloom time, and color combinations. You'll also have to consider height before making plant selections. For example, if your garden is a border along the house, the tallest plants will need to go in the back but shouldn't be so tall that they block windows or doors. If your flower garden design is an island, the tallest plants should go in the center. Some shorter plants also suffer when shaded by taller plants, so take individual flowers' needs into consideration.

Well-designed flower gardens put a premium on year-round interest and staggered bloom times. Evaluate both factors before selecting plants. You don't want to create a garden full of color in summertime but bare in autumn. That's another reason it's important to combine different types of plants for example in your flower garden design.A good place to start is the color wheel. Hardscape elements, such as pergolas, trellises, and arbors, are great complements to flower garden design. If you're crafting a bed that flows from front yard to backyard, for example, an arbor with a climbing rose is a good way to mark the transition from public to private spaces.
