Max (Pays de Loire), wanted to create a bed for the entrance to his house.
The test we carried out with our site resulted in the creation of a friendly, contemporary, maintenance-free space, much more welcoming than the current one.
We like the contrast between the ball plants and the grasses and geometric plants (phormium), which add structure. Discreet blooms will mark the change of seasons without being omnipresent.
Our tips for choosing flowers for your flower bed
Creating an attractive flower bed requires careful thought about the choice of species. Several factors should guide your selection for a harmonious, long-lasting result. To find out more, contact a professional.
The first consideration is the exposure of your bed. Is it in full sun, shade or part shade? Some flowers, like roses and peonies, love the sun, while others, like hydrangeas and hostas, prefer shade. Adapt your selection to these conditions.
- Take the ground into account. What is its nature? Is it clay, sand or limestone? Each type of soil favors certain plants and discourages others. Our site automatically recognizes the main soil types in your area, buta soil analysis can be a good starting point.
- It’s important to vary the shapes, colors and flowering periods for an interesting bed all year round.
- Alternate tall and low plants, play with complementary hues and choose flowers that bloom at different times for a constant show.
Don’t forget to take plant resistance into account. Some flowers are more resistant to disease or pests and require less care. Examples include rudbeckias, irises and asters. You can discover this site if you’d like an example of a top-of-the-range massif!
