Focus On Flowers
Here are a few ground covers that I like to use to stifle the weeds and tie other plants together in a pleasing manner.
Low-growing phloxes have a cool color palette made up of lavenders, purples, pinks and whites.
Unless the foliage of other perennials grows up to mask the bulb foliage as it decays, the garden looks a mess.
Even if you have just a small garden made up primarily of annuals, you can still make wonderful floral centerpieces for your dinner table.
In July Americans celebrate Independence Day and the French celebrate Bastille Day so it seems appropriate to think about red, white and blue flowers.
If you wish to attract many butterflies to your garden, plant a butterfly Bush, “Buddleia Davidii,” in your garden.
