All the flowers you sprinkle into your garden have a set lifecycle.
There are theannuals, that are only going to last a season and will die at the end.
There areperennials, that come back year after year.
Then there is the mysterious world ofbiennials.
Biennials have a two-year lifecycle instead of one, and are prolific self-seeders, too.
They’ll spend the winter gaining root strength.
By next summer, theyll be established enough to put on a show.
Foxgloves need almost no care once established.
They carry on without your help.
However, the markings on the flower face vary greatly, and a field of dianthus is breathtaking.
Columbine
To viewcolumbineon the seed packet, you wouldnt think much of it.
In the wild, columbine are sculpturally magnificent blooms that Ive always thought resembled a mobile.
The flowers teeter off the stems like little fireworks in the garden.
Like Sweet William, columbine come in a mess of colors and patterns.
Phlox
If you like hydrangea,phloxs big puffballs of blooms have a similar vibe.
They make a great border against fences, as well.
Dara
Garden lace, as I like to call it,darais simply flowering carrot.
