flowers planted
together are an American tradition, a flower combination grown
nationwide to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday and a patriotic
display to enjoy all season long. Most often these are planted using
annual flowers, but you can also design a red, white and blue flower
garden using perennials or by mixing annuals and perennials. Here are
some guidelines for designing your red, white and blue garden and
suggestions for annual and perennial flowers in red, white and blue
listed by color.Using Annuals in Your Flower Garden DesignThe reason for
using red, white and blue annual flowers is that most of these are more
dependable bloomers. Once they start to bloom for the summer, they
should stay consistently in bloom until fall. If you are planting a
formal design or bedding plant design or planting a specific pattern,
annuals are the better choice. In addition to blooming dependably, the
annuals will also reach a predictable height and width so you can design
exactly what you want. A typical combination might be red, white and
blue verbenas or red salvia, blue salvia, and white petunias. Of course,
you can also use annuals in an informal display, or mix and match
annuals and perennials.
Red, White and Blue Design Using PerennialsYou can plant a red, white
and blue flower combination using perennials, but the timing is tricky.
Perennials bloom for just a few weeks each year. Perennial flowers may
begin to bloom a little early or a little later in the season depending
on the weather each year. Sometimes the weather causes a perennial to
bloom for an exceptionally short time, thus limiting the display. So you
are not guaranteed to have all three colors in bloom at the same time
or for a long period.Belgium, the Netherlands and areas of France. It is
a member of the hyacinthaceae family, and is a spring growing,
perennial plant that has been subject to extensive hybridization. The
flowers grow from long, slender stems that typically nod in one
direction. The blossoms themselves are actinomorphic, meaning they have a
distinctive bell shape, which is generally a deep blue, or purple blue
shade. The hybrids of this flower may have upright stems, flowers
blooming on both sides of the stem, and may be seen in colors of creamy
white or pink. Unlike the wild growing variety of the bluebell flower –
which commonly has bright white or yellow stamens – the hybrid types may
have cyan or blue stamens.
In 1981, the bluebell flower officially became a protected plant under
the Wildlife and Countryside Act in the United Kingdom. This legislation
is meant to protect the wild-grown varieties of bluebell from becoming
extinct in the future, and it has – as of 1998 – become illegal for
landowners to remove these blossoms and bulbs from their land for the
purpose of trade. It is understandable why those living in the United
Kingdom would want to save these flowers – not only are they lovely, but
they have become a part of the culture and myth of the area. The
bluebell flower has long had a connection with fairy life. It is thought
that growing a garden full of bluebells is an invitation to them, and
creating wreaths of this blossom – which you would place on an alter –
puts you in their favor. On the other hand, it is said that trampling
over a bluebell will make the fairies angry, and thus you may find
yourself maimed or ill. It is also believed that fairies are able to
ring the bell of this flower so as to call to one another. If a mortal
were to hear this ringing, however, they would find themselves in grave
danger of being kidnapped or killed by the fairy folk. Although all
parts of these plants are considered toxic, many still feel that they
have some strong medicinal properties. It is thought to be a diuretic
and styptic, which has traditionally been used to cure snake bites.
Research is also being done on this plant, as it is thought to be a
potential treatment for cancer and HIV.
The blue flower was once associated with death; however, in more modern
times these blooms are thought to represent gratitude and humility. They
are often given as gifts to say “thank you,” or to express a humble
appreciation of someone in either love or friendship.
