Color For Your Annual Garden
Eudora DeWynter Nothing will brighten up a flower garden like color. Colors in a garden, when plants are planted in the right place can be absolutely stunning. Whether it be a single color a mixture of many, colors have been known to have different effects on people, especially when planted in harmony. Bright color will always stand out and draw attention to your garden. Decide on your location, then decide on the layout for the particular area you have chosen. Bright colors do stand out more and appear to be closer than they are while darker colors seem to be farther away and nothing is better or brighter than white for an area that will be used at night. For some reason reds seem to excite people, pink is just a sweet color, yellow is a fun color, white is neat and clean, green seems to ease eye strain, blue is ever so calming while gray brings out your creativity. When choosing your site, remember to ask yourself, will the site I selected meet the needs of the plants that I have selected? Meaning will there be adequate sunlight or shade if needed when temperatures rise, is the soil drainage adequate ( extremely important ). Keep in mind that to much sun will burn some plants and too little sun will reduce flowering of others. Early morning sun is not as hot and damaging as the hotter more intense sunlight of the afternoon. Taken this into account shade loving flowering plants won't do well and all flowers do better when temperatures are mild. Many flowers stop blooming when temperatures get to high during the summer. When planting your soil should be rich with good moisture retention and drainage, poor soil reduces plant growth and encourages root problems. Add organic matter such as pine bark chips or shredded yard wastes to your soil when planting, it will enhance the soil be it sandy or clay. Before you plant remember Sunlight, Soil and Temperature should play a part when you choose your garden site. About the Author
