Selecting colors of perennials is an important part of creating a lovely patio garden. While some gardeners prefer to stick to a particular color scheme, such as pinks and whites, others like flowers of every color to brighten their outdoor space. The choice of the color scheme is up to the individual. It would add visual interest to the garden to introduce a new color each year! There are perennials available in almost every color! Blue, pink, red, white, yellow and orange are just some of the colors of perennials!
An important step in planning a perennial garden is choosing plants that have spring blooms. It will provide color to the garden from the onset of spring showers. Coral bells are very colorful and bloom from spring until early fall. The pincushion is a very attractive flower that will attract butterflies to any garden. The bleeding heart has a beautiful heart-shaped flower that will produce blooms from spring to fall. These are just a few of the many gorgeous flowers to choose from when selecting spring blooms.
A herb garden is another type of perennials which adds green to a patio and also brings fresh herbs into a kitchen. They can be planted in containers or garden beds and will bring the flavor to your kitchen from spring until fall. There are many different types, but some popular ones include chives, lavender, sage and tarragon.
While landscaping around patio, one thing that should be considered is depth. Low growing perennials such as baby's breath should be planted at the front of the garden while the tallest should be planted at the back. Plants can graduate in size from the most compact at the front of the garden to the tallest at the back. The field of depth and color will add interest to the patio garden.
Creating a patio garden with perennials & wildflowers can be a lot of fun! It is also very rewarding to watch the plants grow and flower year after year.
