It would seem that what could be simpler than planting a flower bed on the lawn in front of the house?
However, even in such a seemingly simple matter, there are rules, warns the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
For example, when placing flowers in a flowerbed, you should at least remember that they are compatible in height.
Otherwise, some plants will block others, and it will be impossible to create a composition that pleases the eye. Plant the tallest annuals at the back, if the flowerbed is round - in the center.
If the plants belong to the same species, place them in groups.
Try to choose flowers for your flowerbed so that they bloom from early spring until the frosts arrive.
An approximate order could be: crocuses, iberis, tulips, daffodils, phlox, lobelia, marigold, petunia, etc.
If you follow these guidelines, you will be able to create a functional flower bed throughout the entire gardening season.
