Flower gardening should not be limited only to the summer. If you plan carefully and plant ahead of time, your garden can be filled with an abundance of flowers for most of the year.

If we start by seasons, then for spring flowers, the best thing you could do would be to plant bulbs. A nursery will have them, and if you're more inclined to the exotic, and rarer flowering bulbs, there is a good chance that you can order them specially.

Favorites among fans early spring bulbs are crocus, and gay Snowdrops. Tulips though, are by far and most famous of bulbs in demand by flower gardeners, and are available in a variety of shades, including black, which is really more of a dark brown and one of these flowers I rarely talked about earlier.

Remember that all spring flowering bulbs should be planted in mid autumn, as this is the best time for them. Getting closer to the winter and you are in danger of losing your bulbs altogether.

Moving through the summer, we find that perennials are a favorite for flower gardening as they yield blooms almost continuously throughout the season, and sometimes beyond. With a little luck and care, you'll find that most of your perennials will last until next year and the year after, and so you get the right image? You will also find that over the years and seasons wear your perennials will become fuller, and generally become more abundant than the first year you planted them.

As autumn gently closes in most flower gardens are left without anything, but some small perennials. If you are dedicated flower gardening however, that should not be the case for you. Hardy, drought resistant plants like Asters number among the many types of fall flowers available, and look stunning in late summer / early fall, in general, the plants will fall to a 3-4 well feet tall, and have bright colors, as well as pastel colors to choose more distinguished. Ornamental grasses are another favorite and nicely complement your fall flowers.

To close the year and your efforts to flower gardening, do not despair because there are many winter blooms available. Amaryllis, Hyacinth, and Narcissus are a few of the more common known flowers and are available as a bulb. If you want something a little more than usual, you can always try Winter Jasmine, winter or honeysuckle.

So do not worry, take lots of notes, plan and buy your heart's content. At the end of everything you really a flower for every season, and your flower gardening efforts will be rewarded more abundantly.
