Need to Decorate your Exterior? Try Outdoor Flowers
Whether you’re new to the neighborhood or a seasoned homeowner, a beautifully built home is the ultimate dream. And of course, a gorgeous home is not fully complete without a well-thought out exterior design, decorated with a themed flower box from Damselfly Designs. Here are some gardening ideas to make your home exterior stand out:
Window Boxes
Window boxes are the perfect way to show off your bright florals right outside of your home! Because of their size and color, petunias, geraniums, and begonias make a perfect “main theme” window box flower. In contrast, plants such as ivy, heather, or vinca, which will add a subtle beauty to your arrangement, are most ideal for “fill in” flowers.
Rocks & Stones
We know that your fresh flowers from your flower box are the main attraction. However, adding in a couple rocks will help you to accent your colorful flowers by making them pop even more. Rocks surrounding the garden keep grass from growing too close to your flowers, which allows for easier lawn mowing. As well as this, raised stone beds with loose soil in the middle allow for faster root growth (and they give your exterior a clean and polished appearance!)
Balcony Decorating
Balcony Decorating
If you have an outdoor balcony, you’ll definitely want to enhance it by adding in some vibrant flowers. Flowers, such as Damselfly Designs’ mellow yellow flower box lilies, will make your balcony utterly breathtaking. Looking for other types of flowers that you can add to your balcony design? Try out some lovely begonias, chrysanthemums, and pansies.
Hanging Baskets
Do you have very little backyard space? Show off your floral arrangements by placing hanging flower baskets right outside of your house. Flowers can be hung from simple hanging pots, baskets, and containers (the possibilities are absolutely endless)! If you’re planning to put your flower box flowers in a hanging flower globe, be sure to get a container with wire or fiber liner to create more flower space. Use a lightweight, high quality potting mix with polymer crystals to promote flower growth. Most importantly, remember to water your hanging plants!
Deck Gardens
Who said your garden has to be in the ground? A porch garden has the ability to give your house a magical feel and with all of the appeal! Plus, there are numerous ways to go about planting one. If you’re hoping to keep your garden off of your patio floor, a suspended garden might be your go-to! Flower pots stacked on top of one another (or “tiered plants ”), freestanding walls, and small tressiles are also superb ways of allowing for more deck space.
Happy Gardening!
