How to design a picturesque flower garden - tips and a planting plan
A magnificently blooming flower garden is no coincidence. Only when location factors and flower selection harmonize perfectly, the dream of the picturesque sea of flowers becomes reality. This guide highlights important maxims for skilfully designing a flowerbed with a plan of plantation as a source of inspiration.
Site selection and planning set the course - That's how it works
The linchpin for a lavishly flowering flower garden is the knowledgeable choice of location. Determine in advance the light and temperature conditions as well as the soil condition. Based on these criteria, you will create a true-to-scale plan. How to proceed in the design like a pro:
Include only plants in the design plan, which are suitable for the local conditions. A sunbather keeps his flowers in the shade as well as a shade bloomer in sunlit location.

Long flowering ground covers give the flowerbed floral abundance. Prime examples are the flower of the flower (Iberis sempervirens), the phlox (Phlox subulata) and the blue cushion (Aubrieta).
Tips
Do you want to enjoy your flower garden without being exposed to prying eyes? Then round off the design plan with the pasen screens. In sunny locations, a flower hedge of butterfly lilac (Buddleja davidii) preserves your privacy. Around the half-shady to shady location, a hedge made of purple dogwood (Cornus alba sibirica) fulfills this task with flying colors.
