The Beauty of the Wild Flowers

The Beauty of the Wild Flowers

People usually admire the cultivated flowers, which grow in a garden. They are so well ordered, always cut good and in good shape. They are beautiful and perfect, but there is another type of flowers, which are not cultivated and these are the wild flowers. They can be also grown in a garden, but remain their wild spirit and magic.

What is great about these flowers is that they usually need no special care. They are growing with significantly less efforts but that does not make them less worthy.

Their magic is hidden in the fact that they can even appear in your garden suddenly without being deliberately put there. Many people get angry and cut them down. But if you know enough of them and take close look you will soon realize, that they can be very beautiful with their wilderness and disorder.

Grow your own wild flowers

Besides this way for the wild flowers to appear in your garden, they can be grown from seeds, which can be bought from the special places for that. It is curious fact but often their seeds, when labeled and packed, are even more expensive than some of the most common cultivated flowers.

In case you want to put wild flower seeds in your garden, there are some tips for choosing the right place and time for that action. As it was said before they do not need any special conditions, they only need the basics like soil, sun and water. The best spot is low near the ground, where the water supply will be easily available, and the access of direct sunlight. If the sun is shining at the place during the whole day, then waist no time and start sowing the wild flower seeds there.

The wild flowers are easily distinguished by the other flowers in the garden. Still if a person will feel difficult to recognize them, there are the most common types, which can be seen.

African daisy

You can also put their seeds near borders, parking strips and tubs as well.
