Which plants to choose
Experienced gardeners can create flower beds with continuously flowering annuals, planting them in such a way that the flowers replace each other during the warm season. In addition to external beauty, such a flower garden attracts bees, and some flowers protect against harmful insects.
Gardeners recommend decorating a flower bed with such plants:
- Marigolds are often planted as hedges. These flowers have lush greenery and a brightly colored bud, and their aroma repels pests. You can plant seeds in May or through seedlings in the first half of June. Watering should be moderate, about 1 time per week, and periodically loosen the earth. Cutting off wilted flowers, marigolds will delight before the onset of frost.
- All gardeners, without exception, are planting Petunia. Thanks to its bright colors, it becomes a bright accent of any flower garden, and its resistance to pests and diseases makes petunia almost unique. She prefers watering moderate and always under the root, so as not to damage the long, but fragile shoots. In addition, you can use ampelous varieties and create vertical flower beds. You need to plant seedlings at the end of May.
- Nasturtium can be planted in the ground or in pots. Watering should be done less than moderate: during flowering, water is needed if the ground is dry. Planted from seeds or seedlings in May or early June. Before planting, seeds must be placed in water so that the shell softens and shoots appear faster.

- Lobelia has a rich blue color and grows with a carpet on which small flowers grow. Planted at the end of May in the form of seedlings and often watered: every other day, but do not pour much at a time. And, of course, loosen the earth and remove dried flowers.
- Begonia should be planted at partial shade. In general, it is unpretentious, but requires periodic watering. Seedlings of these flowers are planted in late May or early June. The soil should be fluffed.
- Alyssum was loved by flower growers due to its pleasant honey aroma. In order for the flower to please the constant flowering, it must be watered and cut off withered flowers, and the soil should be loosened periodically.
