A Garden That Leaves an Impression
Garden flowers turn your home’s yard into an art piece. Whether you’re trying to make the backyard into a sort of isolated paradise or show yourself a bastion of the local community in terms of home management, fine flowers tend to be a solution. Here’s a link to some of the best garden flowers available. Following, we’ll explore a few options you might consider.
1. The Pink Blush of the English Rose
English roses have very large, pink blooms and what’s defined as an “old-world” sort of smell. Some of the most popular options of this variety can be traced to varying breeding programs, where top-tier blooms are selected for their beauty. These flowers are ideal for zones 5 to 9, and they prefer full sun.
2. Baby Blue Himalayan Poppy
One of the reasons this is such a gorgeous flower has to do with the elusive baby-blue color of these poppies. The difficulty with these is that you do want to get the growing conditions right. You’ll be able to make these flowers flourish in zones 3 to 7. Their blooms last around two weeks.
You’ll see a silky blue bloom that absolutely catches the eye, and may even catch the breath as well. If you’re in an area with cool summers and moist soil, Blue Himalayan poppies are going to do well. Pacific Northwest gardens tend to be ideal for these flowers.
3. Indigo Delphinium
Delphinium in bull bloom is something to behold. These flowers are a much deeper blue/violet color than Himalayan poppies. They start out in lighter shades that are almost invisible and seem intangible.
As they mature, that violet indigo color comes on in full, and eventually becomes a deep purple—not to be confused with the well-known American rock band! Their zones are in the 3 to 7 range. Cool areas that have mild summers will be perfect.
4. Violet Foxglove
Perhaps “foxglove” is a bit of a misnomer. These plants tend to look more like purple foxtail rooted in the ground. Violet foxglove is “biennial”, and flourishes in zones 4 through 8. So you’ll see foliage the first year, and flowers the second. Plant them in partial shade with moist soil. This plant does have toxicity to plants and animals, do be careful. (Basically, don’t eat it.)
5. Invasive-But-Beautiful Purple Wisteria
Wisteria is invasive and considered a pest in some areas. It produces hardy vines in zone 5 and above. If you go with native wisteria options, you can avoid some of the invasive issues. The bloom is downright gorgeous, and the smell of this flower is sweet. Because of the hardiness of this plant, you’ll want to “train” them with structures more sturdy than trellises.
Choosing Flowers to Make Your Garden Sing
Wisteria, violet, delphinium, Himalayan poppies, and English roses are five astonishingly gorgeous flowers that have different shapes and sizes. These flowers can be complementary and are even a little exotic. Also, they’re just the tip of the iceberg. There are endless flower varieties out there that will enhance your garden.
