Weeds prevention and changing of color areas on flower-beds
Weeds may appear, even if you used mulch and add herbicide to the soil. Remove weeds as soon as possible as they also need water and nutrients and will take them. Remove them carefully especially when your annual flowers are young, not to disturb their roots.
Changing of color areas
In most cases color areas can be changed out 2-3 times per year. Spring planted flowers are usually set out from late February till the first of June. The second planting of annuals tolerant to the summer heat, such as verbena or periwinkle is frequently used from June till the end of the summer. Managing color change outs is an important part in making flowers to look their best.
Purchase all the colorful plants that you may see and put them into any empty spaces left in the landscape. It’s the easiest way and the most simple. However, sooner or later, most gardeners want more from flowering plants than bright marks of random color.
There are several simple “rules” you should know. First, color is more visually effective when used in mass in your landscape. Try to avoid placing small color areas in the landscape. It’s too hard to see them.
