Go the the nursery every month and buy 1 or two plants that are flowering. Then you will always have something in flower. I’m talking about foundation plants. Do the same with the annuals, always be rotating your crop, pick only those plants that are in bud, and have not opened yet. Make sure that you buy plants that are timely for that month and will flower on for at least two months. Prepare your soil first, and fertilize thereafter to keep them all in good condition. If you have cut worms, be sure to insert 2 nails one on each side on the stem of the annuals, put out snail bait, and spray for grasshoppers, use only safe products, like Neem with is a natural preventive. Only good care will reward you. Hoyakins

I’m not sure what growth rate, temp zone, or your annual precipitation, or even what kind of soil you have! But I suggest mums, burning bush, and maybe some sort of large berried holly for winter. Crocuses, day lilies, daffodils for spring, they are early bloomers that vary over the season, re-budding till fall. Irises are nice for summer, and have enough colors to fill your eyes hungry for differences. Fox glove is also a nice summer flower. Some Autumn ideas are, again, mums, gladiolas, bleeding hearts, and marigolds.Answer by catherine s
I go with Garden Galivant. That’s a good list. Not sure what part of the world your garden resides in, but in the USA, I go to Americanmeadows.com or dutchbulbs.com and they have all sorts things to choose from, spring or summer or fall and even great stuff for winter. Plants AND bulbs. I just received an order that included Hostas and Astilbe for the shady side of my house. And for late spring through early autumn, I plant nasturtiums. They are drought tolerant, and hate fertalizer so they are REALLY easy. When I lived in California, they were ever re-establishing themselves, reseeding, so I just had to clear away the dead stuff and they were year round. Lots of green and lots of flowers.Answer by speedone
YOU SHOULD TRY SOMETHING LIKE A PETUNIA OR PERUVIAN LILY THAT FLOWER ALMOST ALL YEAR.
IN EARLY AUTUMN PLANT YOUR SWEAT PEAS ON A FENCE THAT IS FACING EAST-WEST SO IT GETS A LOT OF SUNSHINE.
IN LATE AUTUMN PLANT PANSIES, VIOLA, LIVINGSTON DAISIES, ETC.
WINTER IS THE TIME TO BE PUTTING YOUR LILIUM BULBS IN THE GROUND FOR MID SUMMER DISPLAY.
IN EARLY SUMMER PLANT SNAPDRAGONS, ANENOMIE, ZINNIA AND COLENDIA SEEDS.
THAT SHOULD KEEP YOU IN FLOWERS MOST OF THE YEAR.
GO DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY AND HAVE A REED OF A GOOD GARDEN BOOK, THAT WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
