If you want to plant it on the ground, you can train it in the heart of the garden, in the shape of a circle, square or even rectangular. You can call on a landscape architect to draw up the plans for the flower bed.
The watchword for a flowerbed is harmony. Indeed, you have to find the right balance between the flowers planted, the shape and the colors to combine. Details like contour and volume are very important for a successful flower bed in the garden. The border is an essential element for having a magnificent flowerbed.
The composition of the parterre; a key element
A flowerbed is made up of several flowers. Thus, the plants must be of different heights, colors and even varied species. As a result, you can combine different flowers, just make sure they thrive in the same season. In combination, always make sure to maintain the right distance between plants in order to find the right balance.

You can plant a tree in the middle of the flowerbed to highlight it. The ideal would be a fast-growing shrub or one that would start flowering in spring. Indeed, flowering is a crucial detail to ensure that the flowerbed is highlighted at all times.
