How to Arrange Flowers in Landscaping
Flower beds make a beautiful addition to any garden. But how do you put them together? How to plant flowers in drifts, clumps, and heights is an art form in and of itself. Here are some tips to help you create beautiful flower arrangements. Continue reading to learn more. We’ll be discussing tips for planting flowers according to height and fragrance in this article. More beautiful arrangements will attract attention than boring ones.
Planting clumps
Consider planting clumps if you want to improve the look of your landscape. A group of flowers of the same flower type will have a greater visual impact than a single plant. A Japanese maple with a cut-leaf may make a significant impact on ornamental plantings, but a Zinnia is unlikely to attract much attention. Random plantings with different colors can also look disjointed. Consider repeating a plant in several places along your borders or walkways.
Planting in drifts
Mass planting, also known “planting En Masse,” is a popular gardening method that involves planting the same kind of plants together. For example, mass planting a group of shrubs can be the same as planting seven potted plants together in a tight cluster. Mass planting can create stunning results, no matter how big or small your landscaping project. It’s a great method to add color to any area and make your garden and lawn more vibrant and colorful.
Planting by height
When planning your flowerbeds, consider the length of your plants. Plants grow taller that they are wide so you should plant your tallest plant half of the bed’s width. In general, you should use a “gradual” height decline with each layer of plants. For instance, your tallest center plant should be 42 to 48 inches high, while the shorter plants on the outside should be 34 to 38 inches tall.
Planting with fragrance
The best way to add aromatic plants to your landscaping is with aromatic plants. A fragrant garden can enhance the overall ambience of a space. Here are some great plants to use for fragrance in landscaping. For more information on how to incorporate fragrance in your landscape, read on.

Its flowers also smell wonderful!
