Decide where you are going to put the floral border
The flowers, in general, need a minimum of 4 hours of direct light a day, so you have to find a place exposed to the sun so that they can have an excellent development. As for the soil, we will not have to worry too much, because as long as it has good drainage , we can grow those that we like the most.
Once the location is decided, we have to prepare the ground . This means that you have to remove stones and wild grasses, delimit the area with stakes, for example, and put up an anti- weed mesh (if you want).
choose the plants
Now it’s time to choose the plants we want to put. Depending on whether we want a permanent or temporary floral border, we can choose one or the other:
Permanent floral border
For this type of border you have to choose perennial or perennial flowers , such as these:
- Geraniums
- rose bushes
- Dimorfoteca
- carnations
- Zinnia
temporary flower border
For this type of border we will choose annual or seasonal flowers , like these:
- Bulbous: tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, buttercups, Indian cane, etc.
- Thoughts
- Sunflower
- hollyhocks
- ornamental cabbage
Create your flower carpet
To finish, we will only have to plant the plants that we have chosen in their final place. You have to take into account the characteristics of each one and not put them too close together , because although it is very interesting to have a carpet of flowers, it would not look good if the plants do not have the space they need to grow. Therefore, it is good to leave about 5-10cm between them.
Thus, we can enjoy the flowers
