Exploring Seasonal Colors: Flowers for Every Time of Year

As the months go by the world changes with different colors and each season brings its own style and feel. People who love gardening get to enjoy adding these seasonal colors to their yards which makes for lively gardens that look good all year long. No matter if it is the soft colors of spring or the deep shades of fall picking the right flowers can change a garden into something beautiful.

Spring blooms are here: A sudden wave of fresh beginnings

Spring brings a sense of new beginnings and the flowers that open up in this time show that clearly. If you want a garden that feels like spring you might think about putting in some daffodils and tulips. These classic spring flowers come in many colors like bright yellow and deep red. Put these bulbs in the ground during the fall so you can enjoy a great display in the spring.

One more popular choice in spring is the iris. Irises are popular because of their bright flowers and many colors which can make a garden more interesting and lively. If you pick the right types of flowers you can choose ones that start blooming in early spring and they will bring more color as the season goes on.

Summer flowers are starting to open up: Full of life and plenty

Summer is hot and sunny and it makes flowers grow well in the warmth. Sunflowers really capture the feel of summer with their big bright faces that seem to soak up the sun's warmth. They catch your eye and give birds and pollinators something to eat.

If you want something easy to care for you might try growing zinnias. These tough flowers are available in nearly every color you can think of and work great for gardens where you want to cut them. Their flowers stick around for a long time which keeps the garden bright and colorful all summer. Hydrangeas put on a beautiful show with flowers that change from light blue and pink to darker colors as summer goes on.

Fall Blooms: A colorful fabric that brings a cozy feeling

When the weather gets cooler, gardens in the fall can still look good if you pick the right flowers. Chrysanthemums really shine in the fall with their bright colors that match the leaves as they change. You can see shades of gold orange and dark red.

Asters also do well in the fall and add bright colors when a lot of other plants start to lose their vibrancy. The way they look like daisies and their deep purple and blue colors can really brighten up a garden in the fall.

Winter Flowers: Challenging the chill

Winter can be tough for colors in the garden but some flowers are brave enough to grow even when it's cold. You might want to think about putting in some hellebores which are sometimes called Christmas roses. These tough plants start to flower from the end of winter and go into early spring showing off blooms in soft pink white and green.

Camellias look great in winter with their big flowers in shades of red pink and white. They add some nice color and shape to winter gardens against a backdrop of green trees.

Getting Ready for Beauty All Year Long

When you are thinking about your garden think about how the seasons change. By mixing different colors and choosing plants that bloom at various times you can make sure there are always flowers around. Mixing evergreen and leafy plants with flowers that change with the seasons can make a garden that looks good all year long.

Keep in mind that gardening involves trying new things just as much as it involves growing plants. Give new flowers and different color mixes a shot every year without worrying too much. When you look at the colors of the seasons your garden will show how the world changes and also how your own ideas and love for gardening grow.
