You should not recklessly buy the plant you like. The right thing to do is the one who, before planting, is familiar with the growth conditions, flowering times, and the parameters of the selected flowers. Based on this, you can decide on the selection of the necessary specimens and the landing site. How to choose the right flowers
Making a choice based on life expectancy
It is quite difficult to navigate the assortment of flower abundance. When choosing a variety, you need to know its varieties, hybrid features. You should start with the simplest: choose according to the duration of life. This helps to narrow down your search and identify faster, as all flowers are subdivided into perennial, biennial, and annual.
One- and two-year-old flowers
Plants that have time to go through all life phases in one or two seasons. They cause inconvenience with their fragility. These flowers need to be planted every spring or every other year. Moreover, in two-year-olds, it is necessary to wait for the appearance of buds only in the second summer. But the big plus of such crops will be abundant and prolonged flowering, active growth. One- and two-year-old flowers allow for a bright and lush decor.
Gaillardia
These groups are ideal for decorating ridges, borders, flower beds. They are appreciated for their versatility in use and simplicity. The most common: petunia, daisies, ageratum, begonia, snapdragon, mallow, pansies, marigolds. The combination of asters, zinnias, phlox drummond, calendula is used for all types of flower beds. Curly annuals are popular for vertical gardening: decorative beans, purple morning glory, liana-shaped nasturtium, sweet peas, Turkish beans.

It is worth paying attention to foxglove, saxifrage, heuchera, gypsophila, cornflower, dicentra. Many people prefer varieties of clematis, sedum and chrysanthemum.
Astilba
Each summer resident has bulbous flowers, which also belong to perennials: hyacinths, tulips, muscari, daffodils, daylilies and others.
We choose by the timing of budding
The decorativeness of any composition depends on the correct selection of plants in terms of flowering time. Everyone wants to make a flower bed of continuous flowering. Taking into account the varietal characteristics and the growing season, one should strive to find a phased transition in the flowering of the planted plants: "one by one". Then your flower garden will be colorful all season.

August is the time of dahlias, freesias, asters, chrysanthemums, cyclamens, goldenrod. In September, chrysanthemums, dahlias, marigolds, asters will continue to bloom.
We select flowers depending on the location of the site
Each plant has its own characteristics, so it is always necessary to create suitable conditions in which they will be comfortable. On the suburban area there are sunny and shady places, in any of them you can make a flower bed. Based on this, when organizing a flower garden, you should take into account the future place of growth and select plants depending on the microclimate.
Almost all types of one- and two-year-olds prefer open sun areas. Shade and partial shade are preferred by perennials: hosta, aquilegia, fragrant violet, heuchera, broadleaf bell, dicentra, many daylilies.

Choosing plants of the right height
Based on the height of an adult plant, you can create layered compositions or make border lines. This fact is of great importance.
