The magnificence of a garden depends on its flower’s color, type and classification. And it wouldn’t be all that lovely without the main artist, who is to manage these beauties. That is YOU, the nurseryman.

A garden can be compared to a picture, where the flowers and plants serve as the colors, the patio as the canvass, and the gardener as the painter.

If you are a painter you picture the art and pick the colors to use to make the art animated, this is the same with beautifying your garden. You hold out the flower’s colors and choose a variety to plant so it will look vivacious.

Now, if you are a beginner and you don’t know what colors to pick for your home garden, here are some tips that you can use as a start:

  • Look for flowers with basic colors. These can be perennials, biennials and annuals .
  • Check the lifespan of each type and make sure you match it with the season so it won’t go to scourge.
  • Perennial flowers have greater life expectancy than biennial and annual flowers. It can exist for 20 years depending on plant type so it is usually regarded as the groundwork of the garden. Don’t forget to plant your garden buds with this type. Examples of perennials are irises, peonies and daylilies.
  • Another is the Annual flowers. If you are in a tight budget, you might want to get this type of flower because it’s easy to grow, it’s not costly and it doesn’t have to be maintained. The only downside of this is its short lifecycle of approximately one year and the cyclic process of replacing it every year. Examples of this type are dahlias, sunflowers and chrysanthemums.
  • The last type is the Biennials. Its lifespan is in between the annual and perennial’s lifecycle, 2 years to be precise and it adapts to any flourishing state. Hollyhocks and Foxgloves are some of its example.
