LAHORE – Summer brings life and colours and greenery at gardens and parks. The Sun brightens up the day and gardens cherish with new flowers and fruits. Gardening is a hobby of many people around the globe and this is the best time of the year to sow the seeds and grow a colorful garden at your lawn or home balcony.
Here is our guide for some of the best flowers to plant during the summer and refresh your eyes and mind with a colorful garden you’ve always dreamed of:
1# Verbena: This spreading flower comes in several colors and is ideal for spaces where you want to create a cascading appearance. Plant them in flower boxes, pots, and on retaining walls to get countless clusters of these beauties all season long.
2# Purple Coneflower: This attractive flower grows incredibly fast and will attract birds and butterflies to your garden. The coneflower also spreads easily so you’ll want to give it some space to grow. Once you do, you won’t regret it.
3# Zinnia: Zinnias are a cheap way to add some stunning color to your garden in just a few weeks. They attract butterflies, so expect to see some new friends in your garden. Like most summer flowers, these do best in full sunshine.
4# Blanket Flower: These cheerful, long-blooming flowers consist of red petals tipped with yellow which makes it easy to see how they got their name. Add them to your garden and you’ll have a great option for both summers themed containers and bouquets.
5# Marigold: It’s hard to find a flower that’s more cheerful than the classic Marigold. Available in bright, warm yellows and oranges, Marigolds are a must for your summer garden. These flowers require lots of sunshine and very little maintenance.
6# Daffodil: The bright, jovial spring flower ‘Daffodil’ has a range of shapes and sizes, from trumpet to small- and large-cupped to double. Deer find them less palatable than other spring plants, but the foliage should be left to die back on its own to rejuvenate the plants for the following year.
7# Tulip: With innate cheerfulness and beauty, a tulip, one of the best flowers to plant in spring, lends itself to a variety of garden settings — from formal border gardens to naturalistic, casual settings. And there’s a tulip for every gardener, from diminutive 4-inch-tall specimens to extravagant multi-foot-high blooms.
We hope this list provides you help and inspiration to add some liveliness and colours to your summer garden this year.
Enjoy gardening!
