Consider These Things When Planting Flowers in Your Landscape Beds

Planting flowers in your landscape beds is a great way to add beauty to them and increase the overall curb appeal of your property in Florida. While it can be tempting to just pick out some beautiful flowers that you like and get to work, that's not the best idea. That's because different types of flowers require different conditions to thrive. Before planting flowers in your landscape beds, you should consider the soil conditions of your beds and choose flowers that will flourish in those conditions. You'll also want to consider how much sun your landscape beds are exposed to because some flowers prefer to receive a lot of sun while others do better in partial shade. One other thing you should consider is the color scheme you're looking to achieve and plant flowers in a way that will fit that scheme.


Make sure you plant flowers that will thrive in the soil conditions of your landscape beds.

One of the biggest factors that you'll need to consider when choosing flowers for your landscape beds is the soil conditions of your beds. Here in Florida, we have many different soil types and most of them tend to be sandy. You'll want to figure out exactly what the soil conditions of your landscape beds are and then select flowers that are known to thrive in those specific conditions. When you plant flowers in soil that is favorable to them, they will have a better chance of growing strong and beautiful.

Some popular flowers to install in your landscape beds in Florida include hibiscus, bougainvillea, and liriope.


Consider how much sun exposure your landscape beds get and choose flowers accordingly.

How much sun exposure your landscape beds get should play a big role in choosing which flowers to plant in them. That's because some flowers do well when exposed to a lot of sun while others do better when exposed to only partial sun or mostly shade. You'll need to pick flowers that thrive according to the conditions they will face on a daily basis. If your landscape beds get a lot of sun every day and you pick flowers that do better in the shade, your flowers could end up dying, and you'll have to start over from square one. By choosing flowers that will do well with the amount of sun they will be exposed to, you'll end up with beautiful flowers that will grow healthy and strong.


Consider what color scheme you want when planting flowers in your landscape beds.

When it comes to planting flowers in your landscape beds, you'll want to consider the color scheme you're going for. Do you want colorful landscape beds that stand out? If so, you'll want to plant flowers that will bloom in different colors. You should also consider the placement of each flower. If you want different colors spread throughout the beds, you'll need to make sure that you are intentional with the placement of the flowers so that you don't have too many of the same flowers in one spot. By carefully considering the colors of the flowers you are choosing and planting them in a way that fits your scheme, you'll end up with beautiful landscape beds that will increase the curb appeal of your property.
