Summertime and the living are easy, right? Well, gardening is easy too. No other season supports such a wide variety of perennial flowers as summer, and for all those wondering how to care for your summer garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a few tips regarding the kind of flowers that you should plant, as well as the areas of the garden in which to plant them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to be careful while selecting the flowers that you wish to plant. The first step to getting the summer garden started is to visit your neighborhood nursery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, the nursery owner will be able to guide you regarding the plants best suited to your garden but don’t rush into buying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review all your choices and select the plants that will definitely grow in your part of the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a plant only to find that it won’t grow because your garden has the wrong soil type or the balance between sun and shade isn’t right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, your perennial summer flowers should remain in the ground for at least two years, with a little help from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, you must choose a spot that receives partial to full sun. Actually, partial shade is best for most plants, though there are a few perennials that will grow in full shade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give you a few examples, plants like begonia, lobelia, impatiens, viola, hypoestes, ageratum, and fuchsia<\/strong> grow well in the shade<\/strong>, whereas the full sun favors plants like hibiscus, marigold, geranium, zinnia, cosmos, roses, petunia, daisy and verbena<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever plants you choose for your summer garden, it is important to prepare the soil because the plants will remain in the same spot for a few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ideal soil for perennials should be fairly loose, clayey, and rich in nitrogen compounds. While planting, be sure to follow the instructions that accompany the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect of planting is to get the timing right. Perennials often vary widely with respect to their bloom period, which can be anywhere between a week and a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, not all your plants will flower all summer. However, you can time it so that your garden can display blooms all summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example, you may start off with columbines in spring, peonies in early summer, and black-eyed susans in late summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, here are some plants that bloom best in high summer: bearded or German iris, cardinal flower, daisy, foxglove, hollyhock, tuberose, poppy, clematis, honeysuckle, gladiolus, bougainvillea, and peony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is only a representative sample and in no way represents a full list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your summer garden is planted, the most important activity is watering, and this is an area where laziness is out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least once a week, you will need to give the plants a thorough watering. In most cases, this means a daily sprinkle is not required, so your job is made easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other area you have to work on is weeding, but that is a relative problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you have the lowdown on how to care for your summer garden, go ahead and get started. Just remember to get the right seeds for your patch of ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
