June Decorating Tips For Your Flower Garden

By: LoLo5

What could be more beautiful than looking out from your deck or patio onto a flower garden that is is in full bloom. Here are some tips to keep your garden looking great for years to come.

FEED THEM RIGHT: The use of a high nitrogen fertilizer, the kind formulated for your lawns, encourages plants to create foliage, not flowers. For best results you should always use a bloom-boosting formula made specially for flower gardens.

FACE THE SUN: Most of your annual and perennial flowers will need full sun for at least 6 hours a day to produce an abundance of flowers. Keep this in mind when planting
.
GIVE THEM LOTS OF SPACE: Most of your perennial flowers will need to be dug up and divided every four or five years in order to continue blooming at their best.

DEADHEAD OFTEN: Snip of faded flowers regularly to encourage plants to rebloom and keep your garden looking well-groomed.

Be sure to pinch back your chrysanthemums (always remove a few inches of the growing tips and buds) before the end of June. This will ensure that the plants will remain full and compact.

As I always say, Just Put A Little Attitude In It.
