春天的众多欢乐之一是路边长满野花的田野.  如此可爱的花朵能在野外生长,无需人类的帮助,这是大自然的众多奇迹之一.

我觉得有点讽刺的是,如果betway旗舰版下载想在自己的花园里种植这些野生的花朵,betway旗舰版下载必须给它们一些帮助来让它们生长.  But, the preparation is fairly simple and the rewards are definitely well worth the effort.

As with many things in the garden, planting begins in advance, and in the case of wildflowers, fall is the best time to sow the seeds for spring bloom.

Wildflowers

在我的职业生涯中,我曾种植过野花花园,但我永远不会忘记我的第一个花园.  那是在一个高尔夫球场上,我在那一小块地方撒了不少野花的种子——我是说很多种子.  野花长得很密,如果我少用一些种子,或者在它们开始生长时把它们剪薄一点,可能会看起来更好.  But, I loved that little wildflower garden.

如果你喜欢野花,何不在花园里腾出点地方种些自己的呢?

在我为Houzz撰写的最新文章中,我分享了我关于创建一个野花花园的建议.  I hope you enjoy it.

Plant a Wildflower Garden in Fall for Spring Blossoms

**Do you have a favorite wildflower?

What comes to mind when you think of wildflowers?  也许是美丽的彩色花朵洒满整个沙漠?  嗯,春天不开车去看野花,自己种怎么样?  野花很容易生长,你还有一个额外的好处,就是整个春天都能看到它们在窗外盛开的美丽花朵.  蝴蝶和蜂鸟也会被吸引到你的野花花园.

上面的野花花园是我9年前在一个高尔夫球场上种的.  It was one of three demonstration gardens that I designed.  My goal was to inspire people to grow wildflowers at home.  我种植了红色亚麻和阿罗约羽扇豆,它们在上面的照片中盛开.  加州的蓝铃花和加州的罂粟也被种植,但还没有开花.  

Brittlebush is blooming in the background.  (I learned from this experience, that wildflowers should be thinned once they germinate, 显然我没有那样做——这是我多年来学到的许多园艺错误之一).

我最喜欢的野花组合之一是加州风铃草 (Phacelia campanularia) along with California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica or mexicana) and Desert Marigold (Baileya multiradiata).  

I also like this combination – Arroyo Lupine (Lupinus succulentus) with California Poppies and Red Flax (Linum grandiflorum ‘Rubrum’).  The possibilities are absolutely endless….

播种大多数野花种子的理想时间是10月到12月, so it is time to plan your wildflower garden now.  沙漠植物园有关于如何种植野花的极好的信息,可以在那里找到 Desert Botanical Garden Growing Wildflowers.
