So that the flower bed looks attractive all year round and does not sink into inconspicuous insignificance after a short period of flowering, you should plan the planting carefully. A colorful mix of spring bloomers, summer and autumn flowers as well as evergreen plants ensures splashes of color all year round.
A planting plan is a great way to plan the design of a flower bed
Planting Plan: These flowers bloom all year round
The heart of every flower bed are large, magnificent perennials, which have the longest possible flowering period and continue to develop new flowers. Large-flowered damsel's-eye (Coreopsis grandiflora), magnificent candle (Gaura lindheimeri), sweet nettle, double sheaf (Achillea ptarmica), spur flower (Centranthus ruber var. coccineus) or flame flower (Phlox) bloom tirelessly between June / July and October. Supplement these permanent bloomers with spring bloomers such as crocuses, daffodils or tulips, summer flowers (annual and perennial), late bloomers such as dahlias and asters and possibly roses. Plant evergreen plants from time to time so that the bed is also attractive in winter and the summer colors are lightened up a bit in between. Woolly ziest (Stachys byzantina), bergenia (Bergenia) or the conspicuously flowering palm lily (Yucca filamentosa) with its long, dark green leaves and clumpy growth are suitable for this.
tips
A small tree or shrub is also very suitable as the center of the flower bed - especially the species that bloom in spring.
