How to Make Your Flower Garden Have More Sunflowers For Every Square Foot
Sunflowers are wonderful additions to any flower garden. They bring a bright splash of color, and vibrant energy to your garden. They can be planted all year-long, or you can space them in different locations throughout your yard.
Most sunflowers are native plants from the southern United States, such as African Daisies, Pennyroyal, Shasta daisy, bells of Ireland, Canada Lily, Indian Paintbrush, and the like. There are also a few that come from all over the world, such as Mexican Sunflowers, Mexican tulips, Hawaiian Umbrellas, and the like. You can choose to place them in groups, or you can choose to grow them singularly. As long as they get plenty of sunlight and care from you, they should do well with your flower garden design. Here are a few tips on planting sunflowers.
You have two main options when deciding where you want to space your sunflowers for your flower garden. You can space them in rows, or you can space them out in a circular pattern. In a circle, they will get their full amount of sunlight each day. If you space them in rows, you can spread them out, giving each flower their own little bit of sun each day. Both methods give your plants their due sunlight, but if you use circles, you don’t have to worry about them getting scorched by the sun as much.
To help you decide which way to space your sunflowers, you will need a tape measure and pencil. Using a tape measure, take measurements of the area where you want to plant your flower garden. Start at one end of the circle and measure to the next end. This is called the bloom radius.
Next, you will need to choose what type of sunflowers you are going to grow. Sunflowers that are used for flower gardening come in all shapes and sizes. There are mini sunflowers, big sunflowers, miniature sunflowers, etc. You will need to choose the type of sunflowers that are right for your flower garden.
Once you have decided on what type of sunflowers you are going to grow, you will need to plan out your flower bed. This will depend on the size of your flower garden and the number of flowers you plan to plant. You will need to make a bed, or hole, that will allow each flower to get the sunlight they need.
Once you have planned out your flower garden, you will need to plant it in the sun. Start by putting up a trellis or wall to help support your flower beds. Then, water the soil and leave it moist so that the roots can survive. When the weather conditions are perfect, you will be ready to plant. If your flower garden has 12 sunflowers for every square foot of planting area, then you should plan to plant about 6 inches each direction for each square foot of planting area. If your flower garden has only six sunflowers for every square foot, you should plan to plant an additional two plants for every square foot of planting area.
Once your flower garden is planted, you will need to care for it properly. Water your flower garden daily to keep the soil damp. Mulch your flower garden if you have not already done so. You may also want to add a weed barrier to keep blackberries and other weeds from growing. If you find that your flower garden needs additional help, you may want to contact a local florist who can assist you with care. In addition, if your flower garden has become disheveled, you may want to consider hiring a landscape designer to make your flower garden look beautiful and to clean up the area in which your flower garden is located.
