Buy flowering garden plants

Embark on a horticultural journey with our selection of flowering garden plants, where each bloom tells a story of color, texture, and seasonal beauty. Among our curated offerings, the vibrant Rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes' and the delicately veined Geranium sanguineum 'Striatum' stand out as exquisite choices for the discerning gardener. These species not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of any garden space but also contribute to its biodiversity and vibrancy.

The Allure of Flowering Garden Plants

Flowering garden plants are the jewels of the landscape, bringing a dynamic display of hues and forms that can transform any outdoor space. These plants serve as focal points, create mood, and can even influence wildlife activity in your garden by attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. From the early blooms of spring to the last flowers of autumn, a well-planned garden can provide endless visual interest and a retreat for the senses.

Spring to Early Summer Bloomers

As the garden awakens in spring, the Bergenia cordifolia unfurls its broad, glossy leaves and clusters of deep pink flowers. This robust perennial is a stalwart of early-season color, providing a lush groundcover that transitions beautifully into the brighter shades of the season. Following closely, the Rhododendron 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum' makes a grand statement with its large, lilac blossoms that are a magnet for early pollinators.

The Lonicera nitida 'Elegant', commonly known as Wilson's honeysuckle, offers not only delicate creamy flowers but also a dense foliage that can be shaped to add structural elegance to the garden. As spring gives way to early summer, the Echinacea purpurea 'Alba', with its striking white blooms and central cones, becomes a beacon of tranquility and natural beauty.

Midsummer to Autumn Highlights

With the peak of summer, the garden reaches a crescendo of color and life. The Digitalis grandiflora, with its stately spires of yellow blossoms, towers gracefully above lower-growing plants, adding vertical interest and an old-world charm. The Astrantia major 'Pink Pride' presents intricate pincushion flowers in shades of pink, offering a delicate texture that contrasts beautifully with the bolder forms of summer blooms.

As the intense heat of midsummer sets in, the drought-tolerant Tanacetum coccineum 'Robinson's Red', with its fiery red daisy-like flowers, provides a vivid splash of color that persists even in the most challenging conditions. This resilience is essential for maintaining a garden that is not only beautiful but also sustainable.

Creating a Cohesive Garden Tapestry

The art of garden design lies in achieving a seamless blend of varying plant species that together create a cohesive tapestry. The Aquilegia alpina, with its nodding blue flowers, intermingles with other perennials to fill the spaces between spring ephemerals and late-summer bloomers. By incorporating a diverse palette of flowering plants like the Geranium sanguineum 'Striatum', with its soft pink flowers crisscrossed with deep veins, gardeners can craft a landscape that is both visually stunning and ecologically rich.

Each plant, from the Rhus typhina 'Tiger Eyes' with its feathery foliage and architectural presence to the subtle elegance of the Geranium sanguineum 'Striatum', plays a critical role in the garden's overall character. At Heijnen Plants, we specialize in providing an array of high-quality flowering garden plants that cater to every gardener's vision, ensuring your outdoor space flourishes season after season.

What function can flowering garden plants have in a garden?

Flowering garden plants serve multiple functions: they provide aesthetic beauty with their blooms, create habitat for pollinators, and can act as focal points or soften hard landscapes. They may also be used for cut flowers, bringing the garden's beauty indoors.

Which is the best period for transplanting flowering garden plants?

The best period for transplanting flowering garden plants is during their dormant phase, usually in early spring or late fall. This timing minimizes stress on the plants and allows for root establishment before the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.

Which plants can be combined well with flowering garden plants?

To create a harmonious garden, flowering plants can be combined with bee-friendly plants, butterfly-friendly plants, and ornamental grasses. This grouping not only provides aesthetic appeal through varied textures and heights but also supports local wildlife, contributing to a lively and sustainable garden ecosystem.

In which soil type do most flowering garden plants grow well?

Flowering garden plants generally prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. However, specific requirements can vary; some may need acidic or alkaline conditions. Ensuring proper soil preparation by incorporating compost and adjusting pH as needed will promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.

What popular types of flowering garden plants are there?

Popular varieties of flowering garden plants include the Geranium sanguineum 'Striatum', Bergenia cordifolia, and Echinacea purpurea 'Alba'. The Rhododendron 'Catawbiense Grandiflorum' and Astrantia major 'Pink Pride' are also favored for their vibrant blooms, while Aquilegia alpina adds a touch of alpine elegance.

In what period can I best plant flowering garden plants?

The optimal planting time for flowering garden plants is typically in the spring after the last frost or in the early autumn, allowing the plants to establish roots before the onset of winter. This timing ensures that the plants can benefit from the moist soil and cooler temperatures for root development.
