Adding A Blue Wedding Flower To Your Plantings
Adding the Blue Wedding Flower to your garden can be a wonderful way to add some calming color to your yard. .
Blue and blue purple flowering plants of every shade are available as both perennials and annuals. Plant them in a cluster of all blue type plants or mix them in with other colors for a rainbow of beauty.
When planting your Blue Wedding Flower be sure to get instructions for the care and maintenance of the plant. Some plants thrive in the shade where others require full sun so it is important to buy plants that are appropriate for where you are going to plant them. A sun loving plant that is expected to grow in the shade will only turn out to be a disappointment.
Make sure you water and fertilize your Blue Wedding Flower according to the instructions that came with the flower and you will be rewarded with big luscious blooms. Pinching off the dead flowers will help your plant to grow fuller.
Some other considerations when planting your Blue Wedding Flower plant include:
Bloom Time – what timeframe the plant will flower in – planting flowers in the same areas that have different blooming times will insure a succession of blooms throughout the growing season.
Height – plant taller flowers in back and shorter ones in front to give your garden a more cultured look
