What are the main flower types?

• <div><p>While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:</p><ul><li><p><b>Annuals</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. </p></li><li><p><b>Perennials</b>, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. </p></li><li><p><b>Biennials</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.</p></li><li><p><b>Hybrids</b>, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location</p></li><li><p><b>Flowering shrubs</b>, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What happens if you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone?

• <div><p>If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.</p></div>

Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Can I DIY hardscaping in my yard?

• <div><p>It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">installing patios</a>, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.</p></div>
