The first thing you must consider is whether you will plant annual or perennial flowers.

To help you decide, you must ask your seeds provider which flower thrives in your climate.

Wild or organized?

You must also consider how you want your garden look like. If you want it to look like wild plants, you may mix plants with different heights, colors, and varieties. Your garden may look like meadow and it can be very charming to some people. On the other hand, you may also consider arranging your plants orderly. You may plant them according to heights, colors, and varieties.

Sprinkled or planted?

For some seeds, sprinkling them over the garden plot is enough, but for some you will need to plant them first in a nursery before transplanting them in their proper places. Usually, when the seeds are too small to plant separately, they are sprinkled. When seedlings sprout, they can be ready for transplanting. Just do not forget to water your plants right after transplanting.

Remember, maintaining a flower garden depends more on how you understand their needs and less on the color of your thumb.
