What are some good flowers to plant that need a lot of water and sunlight?

I want to plant a flower garden in the front of my house. My problem is that the spot that I want to garden gets a lot of rain because of the run-off from the roof. This is the only spot that I can put a flower bed for the front of my house. Any ideas on some flowers that are easy to grow?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersI have the same situation. I dont have gutters and I get a lot of run off. What I do is notice the line where the water hits the ground and I plant flowers a good foot in front of that water line. Under the waterline I pile mulch as deep as I can make it. I use shredded leaves that I rake up from the yard. I use pine needles and I use sticks. This mulch soaks up the water but keeps the water from battering the plants. The plants that are in front of this mulch benefit from having the ground under the mulch be nice and wet but diverting all the direct hits from the roof. You can plant just about anything if you have a lot of sun. What I have put in this spot is Epimedium which has great foliage, spreads out and can get hit occasionally with hard rain and have no problem. I also have Angels Trumpets and Missouri Primrose.

Reply:Kingcups can grow in a spot with a lot of water, we've got a huge one growing where the roof run-off pours and it sucks all the water up like a sponge. The leaves are rounded, standing up to 3' tall and it has some really funky yellow flowers toward the end of summer.

Best flowers to plant for birds?

i want to plant wild flowers in my garden but i am no alan titmarsh. i want to intice insects and wild birds in to my patch

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersHello toggs, good for you! Watching the birds and insects go about their business is great fun. For the birds i would suggest some, or all of the following -





Sunflowers, Teasel, Pampas Grass (they also use it to line their nests), Stipa gigantea, strawberries and other soft fruits. Having a patch of grass is good as blackbirds love searching for worms. And in the middle of it all put a wee bird table with various treats. For the insects i would suggest -





Echinops, Buddleja, Evening primrose, Sweet cicely, Phlox, Foxgloves, Various grasses and anything with single scented flowers. A neat pile of logs that are left to their own devices will attract lots of wildlife, and an old plastic kitchen basin sunk into the ground and filled with rain-water will attract toads and frogs and if you're lucky, Newts. I could go on for ages here! Good luck and have fun, x
Reply:plant lots of brightly coloured flowers. Insects will definitely be attracted to bright/fragrant flowers, ditto for birds.


good luck! Report It

Reply:When it comes to insects, always choose single rather than double flowered varieties. Bright colours attract many insects, scents attract others, night scented types attract moths.


For birds, plant fruit bearing shrubs; redcurrants will bring hordes of birds.


For butterflies, you can't beat buddliea.
Reply:Honeysuckle Tree (Mini) not only do the hummingbirds love it but it produces little red cherries that the birds eat. Cotton Easter is another good one, in the fall it also produces little fruit that birds will eat. Sunflowers, bleeding hearts, purple cone flowers, black eyed susans, daisy. I have quite a few mini trees that birds like, Weeping Pussy Willow, Fruit producing Mulberry. I hope this helps a bit. There are many, many that attract birds and insects. Have fun!

Birds need nesting spaces, shelter, food such as berries and seeds as well as insects.





Insects may be attracted to brightly coloured flowers and also require a homes to stems and grasses can provide this as well as cracks in wood, paving, rocks and rotting wood piles.





With a combination of these natural ideas and bird feeders, you should have a flourishing garden soon
Reply:There are all kinds of good books out there now for this very thing. I work in a native flower greenhouse and we do this sort of thing all the time. First you need to know what type of soil you have...is it dry...wet or medium(mesic). Next do you have alot of shade or is it all sun or a mix. Here is a list of plants : Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamont) sunny....mesic/dry Petalostemum purpureum (purple prairie clover) sunny--dry


Aquilegia canadensis (columbine) part shade.....mesic


Blazing stars....(there are many different varieties for different areas)


Asclepias Tuberosa(butterfly weed)...sunny...dry...sand


Asclepias Incarnata (red milkweed)...sunny/part shade...wet..mesic


Bouteloua curtipendula(side oats gramma) sunny...dry


Schizachryum scoparium(little bluestem) sunny....dry


Viburnum triloba (american cranberry) part sun/shade...mesic soil...birds love the berries


Sambucus canadensis(elderberry)......part sun/shade...mesic soil birds love the berries


Agastache foeniculum(anise hyssop) sun/part shade.....dry to mesic


Penstemons....different ones but birds and insects love them


Zizia's....there is one for wet areas and one for dry ...insects love them


Rudbeckia Submentosa(sweet black-eyed susan) sun....dry


There are tons more but this is a simple list to get you started.....


Hope it helps....

Can I plant plastic flowers in a garden?

OK, i really want flowers outside but just cant take care of a flower/garden to save my life. can i plant fake ones? seriously. thanks

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersYou can, but you'd have to make sure you buy REAL looking flowers, I've seen way to many easily spotted fakes out there. But I do have a neighbor who hangs fake wisteria baskets %26amp; they are beautiful!! There is a fine line between nice %26amp; trailer trash! Good luck!
Reply:Yes, but don't forget to water them!
Reply:Well..I guess you can but that's not really planting. I suggest you go to a nursery and ask for flowers that require very little care.
Reply:Yes, you can put fake flowers in the ground. I have a tiny pet cemetary in a clearing in the woods behind my house. I have fake flowers on the two graves there. They last quite a while, and look good if you choose wisely. However, the sun will fade them after a few months.
Reply:we used to put silk daffodils in a couple of planters by the front door in the spring. then I used to plant real flowers for the summer. and in the winter we would put silk poinsettias in the same planters. worked for us. and it looked pretty!
Reply:Sure. I see people do. I think it's a silly thing to do and it looks very faky, but if you don't care, go ahead and plant it. It brighten your garden, at least.
Reply:I wouldn't do that--check with your local nursery about low maintenance flowers and shrubs. Because by the time you plant those plastic flowers, depending on where you live, you will have one of two things happen.


You'll either have agitated neighbors knocking at your door with a petition to have homeowners association fine you, or your new plastic glories will blend in nicely with your next door neighbor's pink flamingos.nanny

Fragrant house plant with flowers?

Hi! I just love flowers like gardenia and plumeria, and I want to grow a plant that has fragrant flowers that is able to be indoors. I like in Nevada so it's either freezing cold or scortching hot and dry. Thank you!

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersBoth Jasmine and Gardenia are both beautiful scented flowers which will grow indoors pretty well as long as you have a good amount of light. Another shorter lived plant would be the Freesia bulb which you can force at any time of the year.

Reply:Talk about a challenge!





You want something that is drought-tolerant. There are a number of aromatic herbs that happen to like hot dry conditions, especially those originally from the middle east.





Or you could try planting a cactus garden: Some of them are beautiful!





If you go with the herbs, you'll want to mulch heavily so you can conserve water. With cacti, pea gravel is good.





Take a look at HGTV.Com for more ideas.





Good luck!

Would you be buying plants or sowing seed?





There are some plants that are Very easy to start from seed- If you want to get some lovely tall stuff going you could do


Cosmos


Sunflowers (which come in dwarf varieties too)


Tithonia- called mexican sunflower.





Starts you could buy currently to get things going,


those lovely flowering salvias, clary sage (has wonderful foliage) marigolds, pinks, lavender,





Don't plant columbine! - lovely as it is.





Is it past your last frost date? This would be important if you are planting things that are not frost tolerant. You wouldn't want to do all that work and have stuff keel over dead if you get those (not uncommon in my area) mid/late april frost- sometimes we'll even get some freak may frosts as well.





You can start planting summer flowering bulbs like lilies, canna lillies and dahlias.

When do i plant these flowers seeds?

I bought sunflowers %26amp; seeds of hope in "seed ball" form, rather than just a packet of random seeds. I wasn’t sure when I should plant them. I have never used seed balls before so I don’t know if their more similar to bulbs or regular seeds just compacted together. Whatever you know about this form of planting and when to plant these types of flowers would be very helpful %26amp; greatly appreciated. I also have tulip bulbs...not sure when to plant them either.





Thanks!

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersWhat instructions came with the seed ball?
Reply:Aren't seed balls just meant to be thrown right out there like a baseball? I'll bet they are wildflowers, right? Plant your tulips right after memorial day and they will bloom next spring.
Reply:for sunflowers plant after las frost of the season. just goggle the name of your town and last frost and it should come up with the expected date(I personally live in Canada and don't put anything in the ground until after May long weekend which is around May 24th) I think you put your tulips in in the fall as they could be up already my dads have already started. This web page should help with the tulips.

Which flowers/flowering bushes or trees should I plant?

I live at the beach in NC. I'm not ocean front but the soil is still very sandy. We live in an area with mostly old folks who are retired and outside planting new flowers all the time. The homeowners association does all the grass mowing but the flower beds are up to us. And we are constantly getting dirty looks and comments about how bad our bed looks.





I am possibly the worst gardner known to man. My mother could kill everything and I inherited her ability with my fathers complete disinterest. I can't tell the difference between flower and weed. I want to find something that will grow in the sandy soil, that blooms most of the summer, and that requires lil maintance. It can be tree, bush, vine whatever--as long as its low maintenance. I can water about once a week. And maybe monthly I'll go out there and (deadhead, or add a fertiziler stick, or whatever one does). But you better spell it out for me if you don't want it to die.





Suggestions? Anything will be appreciated!!

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersPlants and sand, what joy. I'm from Miami originally, so even though we weren't near the beach, we had a lot of the same problem. You also need something that will tolerate the salt spray, the occasional storm surge residue, and, of course....the blasting sun. Now.....I live in Virginia and summer at the Outer Banks, so....I'm kinda familiar with the "issue".


Clear out your beds and get ready!


First thought: Decorative grasses come in many different heights, colors, and frond styles. I'd put them in the background and on the ends. These will keep the maintenance (weeding) to a minimum, they look good even in the winter, and only need a haircut come springtime. Look at some of the funkier ones with verigated leaves, twisted stalks, and make sure you have a mixture of frond types to keep it interesting. You probably don't want to go "pompas" as they get big, and one strong storm in the dry season will really tick off the neighbors: the fronds break off and shed on their yards.


In the center you may want to look at some kind of century plant. They get spike-y, stay green, and send up a nice, tall spire that flowers in any variety of colors. When they spread, they do so in a tight little cluster so they aren't hard to keep up with. Sedum, Yucca, Century plant.....Now, for blooming, shape and ease of care: Salvia (comes in LOTS of colors and is very "poor dirt" tolerent....I mean it grows in the Texas desert for gosh sakes!)





Honestly, if you aren't in for perennials though....for the rest of the planting area: consider decorative pots with annuals, or a planting box that is easily pulled out of the "zone" and re-planted. Sun hardy begonias, and lots of other annuals don't require that much tending if in a pot or box, come in lots of colors, and at the end of the season, you have the option of pulling the pot and over wintering it indoors, or.....just letting it die off in the winter and planting something new in the spring. As long as the pot or box is partially submerged in the surrounding...uhm...sand....it won't dry out as quickly either, so you can keep to your "water once a week" schedule too. Mixing your perrenial grasses, in ground, permenant, with interesting, decorative pots (and face it....they add color too!!) full of happy faced bright flowers that require little tending, and are easily replaced after a hurricane or major storm....will keep you from going nuts, keep you from going broke, keep your maintenance to a minimum....and keep your neighbors off your...uhm....case. (don't you LOVE home owners associations??!!....NOT!!)


One of my favorite resources, even if you don't buy from them.....(they give specifics about height, soil and sun requirements)....try Wayside Gardens (online).


You might be inspired!! They have wonderful things, they give lots of info........and you might find just the color, leaf shape, and "look" that will keep your neighbors from frowning at your purple thumb....


And remember....everything was just a weed until someone liked it enought to name it and plant it on purpose!





Good luck, and happy gardening!
Reply:I'm from SC and now live in PA - I think I can help you.





If you don't have a "green thumb", get your landscaper to assist you, but Crepe Myrtle is a beautiful bush or tree that loves and is planted throughout your climate area. They're my favorite. Of course, in PA, can't have them. Also, the jasmine is a trailing vine. Sweet William (small flowers for borders, perennial that you do not have to plant each season).


Daffodils for the spring/summer. Petunia trailing or non-trailing would survive in the soil, but in the holes, place a good potting soil. Gardenia bushes are extremely popular in the South. That might get you started, also small azalea bushes, they live in acidic soil, anything succulent (cactus family) Spirea or agapanthus are border plants. Use a geranium (red, pink, or white, with candy tuft at border, the mix in sweet william, lavendar or stella odora lillies to make a pretty garden.

Reply:Try finding a nursery in your area that has native plants. Native plants can be very decorative, but since they are native to the area, they adjust better to the local growing conditions and require less water and fertilizer. This means easier to grow and less time caring for them!





Once they get established, they are pretty much maintenance free since they are suited perfectly for the conditions present. You may have to cut them back once or twice a year to keep them from looking shaggy or water them if you have a drought. Putting mulch down will help keep weeds at bay.





Here are a websites to help with research on native plants that grow in your area:

Your bird is interested in plants. So give him some that are safe. Birds need variety in their diet. Along with pellets and seed, birds need fresh foods like veggies. Romaine lettuce, kale, and spinach, or carrots, peas and corn (fresh or frozen, uncooked). All treats should be diced into small cockatiel bite-sized pieces. Except corn-on-the-cob, which is a huge favorite with tiels. It can be fed raw, or cooked and cooled.

I am planting a flower garden from seed in Yucca Valley CA, what flowers grow best in that desert area?

I am moving to Yucca Valley in Jan(from Ohio) and want to be prepared to plant the seeds in early spring.

arid soil, sandy soil, zone 9, full sun etc and then trying to pick out ones common to all the lists.

12 hours ago - 3 days left to answer.

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy Flowersyou can start many kinds of flowers in peet pots and then transplant them into your garden. Marigolds, Asters,Zinnias will do well in those peet pots and then just plant peet pot and all in the ground. And there you go---instant garden. But find out what gardening zone you are in...this will also tell you what kind of flowers will do well in your zone, and how early you can plant them. Look on the back of seed packets and it will tell you what zone you are in.
