The better perennials

Perennials are by far the best type of flower and plant to place in your garden or landscape area. They will save you money each year instead of having to buy new flowers each season.  Additionally, most of them are easy to care for and maintain.  Here are some great choices for perennials that you should consider adding to your garden or landscape.  The Blanket Flower is a great choice.  It is very heat tolerant and drought resistant and will give you color for the entire spring through the summer. They will bloom in reds and golds with three inch blooms that are similarly looking to that of a daisy.  Garden Phlox is another great choice.  It is a wonderful bordering plant and can grow up to four feet tall. The flowers this plant produces are fragrant and will bloom from the summer months of the year all the way into the fall.  It is also great to act as a ground cover in some areas.  Russian Sage is also great.  It is a larger perennial that is perfect for larger landscapes.  It will be about five feet tall and about three feet wide and will produce beautiful blue blooms during the summer months of the year.  They love lots of sunlight and are very tolerant of heat.  They are also drought resistant and will be breathtaking in your landscape.  Peonies are also beautiful choices.  They produce very fragrant and lovely blooms during spring through the fall.

They can grow anywhere from two to four feet and grow in clusters to form a shrub-like appearance.  Irises are another great choice.  They have a shorter blooming period but will take your breath away. They grow in any color one could imagine and will multiply each year when they return.  Daylilies are also beautiful and even though their blooms only last one day, they bloom all spring and summer long.  They are also low maintenance and can grow in a variety of conditions.  Try one of these perennials in your garden today!

Wild Rose Care

Wild roses are beautiful and slightly different from more domesticated varieties.  When you are thinking of growing these in your garden, you need to know a few things about where they grow naturally as well as how to care for them.  Most of them are single bloomers and will not vary too much in their coloration.  Most are pink, red, white, and some are even yellow.  These kinds of roses are hardy and versatile since they are supported on their root systems that have had no interference from man whatsoever.  They will also make it through harsh winters and return even more beautiful than before the next spring. They are easy growers and planted just like any other flower or plant you have in your garden area.

They need lots of sunlight and moist soil conditions. Space them properly because overcrowding can stunt their growth or even kill them over time.  Overcrowding also increases chances for disease and pests.  After planting, make sure they get lots of water and a little extra attention.  However, after these plants’ root systems have become established in their new home, they will need very little from you as a gardener. Little maintenance is involved such as removing deadheads and trimming the branches. Removing old blooms and unsightly parts of the plant will promote and encourage new growth and will make the plant over healthier and happier in the process.  These are beautiful for lining driveways or walkways, or you can even make this a show piece in your garden to impress your friends and family who come to visit.  Just make sure you when buy these that you have the time in the beginning to get these established in your garden so that they last for years and are beautiful.  Also, read up and research the particular variety you are choosing to plant in your garden and soil conditions.  Enjoy your wild roses!
