- It is more appropriate to plant dark flowers in a sunny flower bed, but light blue ones will glare.

- In order for the flowerbed to please you in spring, summer and autumn, choose flowers with different terms flowering.
- Be sure to take into account the height of the plants; plant tall ones in the background, and plant the shortest ones closer to the edge of the flower bed.
- Flower beds with blue shades of flowers visually expand the space.
