Flowers with staying power - magnificent permanent bloomers

With flowers you can bridge the waiting time in the front yard for the flowering spectacle of perennials and ornamental trees. Since the appearance in the bed is limited to one season, you can add variety to the appearance by switching between colors and species from year to year. We have put together some of the most beautiful permanent bloomers for you below:

  • Mallow, hour flower (Hibiscus trionum) opens new flowers up to 5 cm in size every day from spring to autumn
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Cosimo Red-White' with red and white flowers from June to October
  • Zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Canary Bird') inspires with canary-yellow, double flowers

Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) are experiencing a much-noticed renaissance in the front yard with a rural flair. The specialist seed trade has magnificent mixtures in blue-white and red-white shades ready for you. Of course, the red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) should not be missing here as a stylish plant neighbor.

Carpet of flowers for floor and facade - annual Ranker

Climbing flowers are the ideal design elements to stage the front garden as ground cover or facade greening. Pre-grown in the cold frame or planted by direct sowing, care is limited to watering and fertilizing until the first frost. The following climbing beauties fulfill this task with flying colours:

  • Morning glory, morning glory (Ipomoea tricolor) with picturesque, huge funnel-shaped flowers in beautiful colors
  • Black-eyed Susanne (Thunbergia alata), the classic for wall crowns, trellis and house entrances
  • Scented stone rich (Lobularia maritima 'Tiny Tim') transforms the bed into a sea of white, fragrant flowers

We recommend the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Grandiflora Cupani') as representative of the romantic flower family of vetches. The historic flower from the 18th century has lost none of its topicality for picturesque front garden design.
