Adding A Blue and Yellow Flower To Your Garden

Adding a Blue and Yellow Flower to your garden design can be a great way to add color and interest to your yard .

Flowers come in every shade of blue and purple that can be planted to enhance your garden. Planted alone or with other colored flowers, the plants look great!

When planting your Blue and Yellow Flower make sure you pay attention to the instructions for their planting, care and maintenance. It is important to buy plants that are appropriate for the area in which they will be planted – not all flowers will grow in the full sun. A flower that thrives in the shade will not grow very well if planted in full sun.

Make sure you water and fertilize your Blue and Yellow Flower according to the directions supplied at your garden shop and you will be sure to have big beautiful flowers. Pinching off the dead flowers will help the plant to grow fuller and produce more flowers.

Other things to consider when planting your Blue and Yellow Flower plant include:

  • Flowering Times – try to plant flowers that bloom at different times near each other. This way, you’ll have continuous blooms in your garden all year.
  • Height – plant taller flowers in back and shorter ones in front to give your garden a more cultured look

    Below is a list of some blue and purple colored plants for your garden:
