Adding A Blue Bonnet Flower To Your Garden Area

Adding the Blue Bonnet Flower to your yard can be a wonderful way to add color to your garden. .

You can buy blue and blue purple perennials and annuals to enhance your garden design Plant them in a cluster of all blue type plants or mix them in with other colors for a rainbow of beauty.

When planting your Blue Bonnet Flower be sure to get instructions for the care and maintenance of the plant. Some plants thrive in the shade where others require full sun so it is important to buy plants that are appropriate for where you are going to plant them. A plant that needs full sun will not grow to your expectations if it is planted in the shade.

During the gardening season, take care to water and fertilize your Blue Bonnet Flower according to the instructions that came with the flower and you will be rewarded with big luscious blooms. Don’t forget to pinch off any dead flowers as this will make the plant grow fuller.

Some other things to think about when planting your Blue Bonnet Flower plant include:

  • Blooming Season – plant flowers in your garden with staggered blooming season so that you have continuous blooms all year long.
  • Size – make sure you plant the taller plants in the back so they don’t obscure the view of the shorter growing flowers.
