(zářivými) colours and sweet aroma, and when planted in the right combination, they can
keep your garden looking bright and beautiful all year round.

A flower garden is a form of garden usually grown for decorative purposes.
Because flowers bloom at varying times of the year, and some plants are annual, dying each
winter, the design of flower gardens can be sophisticated (propracovaný, promyšlený),
taking such matters (záležitosti, věci) into consideration (přemýšlení, uvažování)
to keep blooms, even of specific colour combinations, consistent or present through
varying seasons.

Flower gardens combine plants of different heights, colours, textures, and
fragrances to create interest and delight (potěšení, požitek, radost) the sences.

Types of plants:
1) Annuals: Annuals are plants that live for a year or
less based on Latin ´annus´, meaning ´year´. Annuals are also known as seasonal
flowering plants which flower only for three or four months. They are normally grown
through seeds and die, within a year. Annuals are great for creating instant (okamžitý,
bezprostřední, přímý) effect and adding colour to your garden.
Examples of annuals are Asters, Dianthus, Bachelor button (chrpa), Phlox, Basil, Cosmos,
Petunias, Salvias etc.

2) Biennials: A plant that takes two years to grow from
seed to fruition, bloom and die or a plant that lasts two years is a biennial, based on
Latin ´biennis´ meaning ´two years´. These are also seasonal flowering plants that
flower only in the second zear of planting.
Examples of biennials are Foxglove (náprstník), Echium wildpretti (hadinec - latovité
květenství - Madeira, Kanárské ostrovy) etc.

3) Perennials): The Latin ´perennis´ means ´many years´.
Perennials are those flowering plants that last longer and keep on flowering. Most take
two years until they are old enough to bloom. Examples are Bleeding Heart (srdcovka),
Water Lily (leknín), Gerberas, Geraniums, Anthurium etc. Once you plant them there is no
need for replanting year after year.
