Garden Flowers – A Few Easy-Care Types

You may not believe it, but these flowers are almost uniquely beautiful. This group includes annuals such as Nigella damascena and Eschscholzia californica (California poppy), calendula (marigold), biennials such as foxglove (Digitalis) and violas, and short-lived perennials that last three to four years, such as columbines and lupines (Lupinus).

California Poppy

All of these flowers produce seeds and multiply through abundant self-seeding. They can therefore appear in their original spot in the garden as well as in other areas. It's good to know this so you will not be surprised by where they emerge.

These Garden Flowers Need Open Space

If you have plenty of space in the garden, it is worth growing these beautiful flowers there. Be careful, however: do not plant them too close to fast-growing plants such as geraniums and periwinkle, because they do not tolerate the competition well.

Nigella

Usually these beauties are planted among perennial flowers. As they grow larger, they fill gaps in the garden and let you enjoy wonderful colors. You can create beautiful compositions without much effort or expense. For this reason, many gardeners especially like these plants and use them to create romantic beds or a rural idyll.

Red Valerian

Some gardeners think these plants can go beyond all boundaries. Red valerian (Centranthus ruber), California poppy, columbine and forget-me-not all grow with little effort. If you do not want these flowers to conquer new territory, take appropriate measures: remove unnecessary plants and deadhead faded flowers before the seeds mature.

Garden Flowers: Create Your Composition

Here is an easy way to fill gaps in your garden. In spring, shortly after the soil has warmed, sow the seeds in a flower bed without a strict pattern. Previously cultivated plants can bloom in late April. You can also sow the seeds in pots filled with potting soil and place them on a sunny windowsill in spring. After a few weeks, the seedlings can be planted in the garden.

Blue Forget-Me-Not

Of course, it's also a good idea to buy flowers from garden centers, for example pansies and violets. They provide plenty of color for the season and fill gaps in the garden with lively tones. Then you can count on a colorful display.
