Organic Flowers
Organic
flower gardening is one of the easiest and most enjoyable
activities that you can indulge yourself with. Any
long-time gardener will tell you that no matter how much
they have grown, seeing their flowering plants blossom
into these bunches of colors and sweet-smelling floral
scents is truly a magical experience. That alone is enough
to convince anyone to grow an organic flower garden.
In order to have a colorful garden all throughout the
year, you must carefully choose your plants based on their
life span and blooming season. Annual flowering plants are
the easiest to grow and blossom, but they only live for
one year. Perennial flowering plants have a much longer
life cycle, but you will usually have to wait for two
years before they start to bloom flowers. These plants are
great if you want to enjoy flowers in your garden at the
start of every summer and carry on for several months.
Brighter Colors, Stronger Scents
It is so easy to find plants that will do well in sunny
weather. Finding plants that will thrive in cold and
darker climates is a bit more challenging. Pick plants
whose blooming seasons fall on different times in a year
so you are sure to have an array of beautiful flowers
every season. Also, grou p
small blooms in cluster and mix-match them with larger
flowers to create an interesting combination of colors and
texture in your garden.
Flowering plants do not require a special kind of soil as
long as it's already prepped up with organic matters and
nutrients that they need. Annuals planted in a
nutrient-rich soil may no longer need to be fertilized
unless they are planted in containers. Potted soil is
easily depleted of nutrients and must be replenished every
once in a while.
Perennials, however, will need organic fertilizers
(compost and mulching are recommended) once or twice each
growing season because they will feed on the same soil for
many years. Just be careful when applying organic
fertilizers, as too much can damage their roots. Go easy
on foliar applications as well, because too much can burn
the flowers.
