Backyard garden lover learns secret to endless blooms
Understanding Plant Cycles
Plants have natural growth cycles that dictate when they bloom and when they rest. To achieve continuous blooms, it's crucial to select a mix of annuals, perennials, and biennials that have staggered blooming periods. For instance, early bloomers like daffodils and tulips can be followed by summer perennials such as coneflowers and daylilies, and finally, late bloomers like asters and chrysanthemums can extend the flowering period into autumn1.
