Adding A Red White and Blue Flower To Your Garden
Adding a Red White and Blue Flower to your garden design can be a great way to add color and interest to your yard .
Blue flowers can range in shade from light blue to a deep purpleish blue. 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 Red White and Blue Flower be sure to get instructions for the care and maintenance of the plant. Buying plants that thrive in the conditions in which you intend to grow them will give you a much fuller and easier to care for garden. A flower that thrives in the shade will not grow very well if planted in full sun.
Make sure that you fertilize and water your Red White and Blue 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 the plant to grow fuller and produce more flowers.
Some other considerations when planting your Red White and Blue 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.
Size – make sure you plant the taller plants in the back so they don’t obscure the view of the shorter growing flowers.
