Reply:I am not sure where you live but my best suggestion is Hybrid Day-lilies. They are basically maintenance free, heat and drought tolerant, bugs don%26#039;t eat them and they are beautiful through out the summer although each flower last only one day, each plant bears dozens of flowers. You have hundreds, well thousands of varieties to choose from in many colors and heights and bloom sizes and the plants get bigger each year. They also have different bloom times, early, mid, and late so check this out if you buy them. Day-lilies like sun. Be careful you will become addicted to these plants!
Reply:I would say that it depends upon your taste-do you want a cottage garden look, or something more formal? Better Homes and Gardens has a great website with all types of garden plans-check them out.
Reply:Depends on which direction your garden is facing. North, South, East or West. Some plants do better in full sun, some in part sun, some partial shade, some full shade. Also, you didn%26#039;t specify the climate. If you live in an arid climate different plants would be used than in a cool rainy climate. Go to your local gardening store, or buy (or use the library for) a book on gardening in your area. That will give you the proper soil conditions, the amount of sun your plant needs and the amount of water it needs. Picking a plant that thrives in your environment not only helps the environment, but makes it easy for you to have a showcase garden!
Reply:Well, let%26#039;s see! There are tons of different flowers you could plant. Try bright colored flowers such as tulips, petunias, and iris. Roses would look nice too, but only plant roses if you are willing to hassle with them. Also, try small bushes. Those would look nice.











Some good tips are keep flowers watered DAILY! Also, make sure the flower or bush is getting the required amount of sunlight needed!
