Adding A Blue Lotus Flower To Your Plantings
Adding the Blue Lotus Flower to your gardening plan can add interest and color to your yard.
.
Flowers in every shade of blue to purple are available in perennial and annual form. You can have a section for all blue flowers or mix them in with your other colors for a more varied look.
When planting your Blue Lotus Flower it is wise to follow the instructions for planting and maintaining the flowers. It is important to buy plants that are appropriate for the area in which they will be planted – not all flowers will grow in the full sun. A sun loving plant that is expected to grow in the shade will only turn out to be a disappointment.
Be sure that you fertilize and water your Blue Lotus Flower according to the directions that came with the flower which will help it grow to a full and healthy plant. Pinching off the dead flowers will help the plant to grow fuller and produce more flowers.
Some other things to consider when planting your Blue Lotus 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.
