4 Steps to a Nonstop Flower Garden

Cover the basics. Adequate water, sun, rich soil. Deep-plant bulbs for strong roots. Extra irrigation in drought.
Mix perennials and annuals. Perennials return yearly; annuals fill gaps for continuous show.
Deadhead religiously. Snip faded blooms to trigger rebloom. Discard debris off-site to prevent disease.
Know your bugs. 75% of flowering plants need pollinators (bees, butterflies, beetles). Decomposers (sowbugs, dung beetles) build soil. Don’t spray indiscriminately.

Apply these and your flower garden will reward you with waves of color all season.
