Antioch blue garden flowers can add a splash of unique color to your yard. You can buy Antioch blue and Antioch blue purple perennials and annuals to enhance your garden design. Plant them in a section for all blue flowers or mix them in with your other colors for a more varied look.
When planting flowers, be sure to follow the instructions for planting locations and maintenance. 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 plant that needs full sun will not grow to your expectations if it is planted in the shade.
Make sure you water and fertilize you’re your blue garden flowers according to the instructions 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.
Other things to consider when planting blue garden flowers 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.
