Daylilies need to be planted in a location considered the full sun, which gives the flowers approximately six hours of sunlight daily. When first planted, they require compost to be mixed in their soil, and after that do not need other fertilizers.
Make sure your flowers have soil that is moist but drains well. These forgiving flowers can survive for years, greeting you every spring.
Iris Plants are available in a variety of sizes and colors, which, combined with their hardiness, makes at least one variety of these flowers an ideal addition to any garden. Plant your irises in late summer or early fall. Iris bulbs should be planted ten-twelve inches deep in the soil. These flowers prefer low-nitrogen fertilizer to be applied approximately one month before they bloom.
Irises flourish in locations where they will receive lots of sun, and their roots will not be subject to standing water. Once irises have made themselves at home in your garden, their watering requirements are low. Occasionally trimming back their stalks after they have flowered will keep them healthy. If you are gardening on a patio, irises are an excellent choice, as they do well in raised garden beds. Solomon Seal Plants. Solomon Seal Plants are perfect for gardeners who love fairytale woodland gardens.
These flowers thrive in natural shaded gardens in the woods and add a refined yet whimsical style to the gardens they grow in. Most of the varieties of the Solomon Seal grow to be approximately one-two feet tall. There is also a large variety that grows to almost five feet tall.
These flowers offer lovely white blooms in the summer that turn a beautiful golden color in the fall. Solomon Seal prefers to live in shaded gardens and can only tolerate the sun if they are planted in a cold climate and their soil is kept moist. Plant these flowers about three inches apart and about two inches deep. They prefer to be planted in damp areas, and after they are established in your garden, they can tolerate droughts if they are watered regularly. Once they have bloomed, these enchanting flowers require nearly no maintenance.
Gardner's do not have to deadhead these plants; they do this on their own naturally. If your thumb is not always green, Solomon Seal would be an excellent flower to begin your garden with; they do best when allowed to grow as naturally as possible.
