How to choose the best plants for your special garden?

 

In many instances we tend to buy plants on impulse. and when we arrive at home, we discover that these plants actually do not suit in the garden. Before you do, you should examine your garden closely in order to avoid this scenario. Before you buy plants, it certainly is nice to know which parts of your garden get a lot of sun and which parts are welldrained, sheltered or windswept. The moment you know these things, you can go out to a shop and buy the best plants for your situation. Now you know exactly how many plants you can buy for the places which are shaded and sheltered for shade-loving plants. You also know which are the sunny warm spots and how much room you have. You also know what the parched areas are for your drought-resistant plants you want to buy.

 

Knowing the pH level of your soil is also important. In certain circumstances it is also important to know what kind of nutrients you want to add to the soil. Is your soil acid or alkaline. Certain plants like a slightly acidic soil while other plants prefer alkaline soil. You can alter the type of pH level. But I think it is better to adjust your plant choice to the type of soil you have.

 

Now you can buy and plant the best plants you want to have. What is it going to be: planted in groups or singly? Some people like to buy one plant of everything. This results in a spotty garden. But if you plant groupwise your garden looks organised, harmonious. You still can vary with many different colors.

 

It might be a good idea to place your chosen plants in the garden bed within their post before you start to plant out. In this manner you can decide whether your are happy with the looks or not. Mix it if you don't like it until you are satisfied. Try to group plant in sets of uneven numbers. Even number groupings tend to look not so beautiful as uneven sets.

 

When using this technique you have to think about the combination of different colors and textures of the plants. The only thing you really have to think of is the fact that you want appealing varieties of colors and textures of the flowers and plants. As usual put the tall plants in the back of the garden. On the other hand you can also place the tall plants in the centre of your garden as long as this point of the garden can be viewed at from all sides of the garden. It is not wise to put plants into the ground close to trees. The roots of this tree will steal all nutrients and moisture from your flowers. They will not survive!.

 

You need to think about the colors if you want a good color scheme. A good scheme will result in harmony. Some colors simply won't go together. As long as these plants have other blooming seasons there is no problem. Foliage color is something to think about. It can be very attractive is these flower plants have silver, gray or purplish foliage. It can have a stunning effect although they don't bear any flowers. This means that your garden may be still very colorful although the blooming season of these plants may be well over.
