In terms of aesthetics, think about the flowering period and colour palette you want to create in your flower bed. Select plants with varying flowering periods to enjoy a sequence of colours throughout the growing season.
If you want to attract wildlife to your garden, select plants that provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and birds. Research native plant species that support local wildlife populations and create a more ecologically balanced garden.
Lastly, let your personal preferences guide your choices. Choose plants that align with your taste and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve in your flower bed. Whether you prefer a formal design or a cottage garden style, or have a specific theme in mind, select plants that resonate with your vision.
By considering these factors and planning ahead, you can choose a diverse range of plants that will thrive in your garden and create a beautiful and harmonious flower bed.
