Choose the right location.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe majority of flowers love sunshine, so site your plants in a warm spot. Most homes have a suitable microclimate near the south-facing side of the house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Plan the layout.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have the space, you can plant orderly rows. But for a small urban plot, clustering flowers of all kinds, country garden style, will work better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Select blooms accordingly.<\/strong><br \/>\nGrow long-stemmed flowers like hollyhocks and alliums for bouquets and short-stemmed blooms, such as pansies, for posies. Consider giant blooms (&#8220;Caf\u00e9 au Lait&#8221; dahlias or sunflowers), delicate classics (like cosmos), spiky flowers (spirea) and bobbing pompoms (gomphrena) as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Don&#8217;t forget the fillers.<\/strong><br \/>\nTo boost hues and enliven the textures of your arrangements, plant some pretty fillers. Dusty miller is a go-to, but you can get creative with herbs, such as dill and fennel, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Create interesting arrangements.<\/strong><br \/>\nLet creativity be your guide as you combine your yield into arrangements. Here are a few considerations : Height lends grandeur; big bold displays provide elegance; diminutive posies add charm (especially in a workaday vessel like a pitcher); single stems look chic and modern.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.styleathome.com\/decorating-design\/plants-flowers\/article\/from-seed-to-vase-how-to-plant-grow-and-arrange-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From Seed to Vase : How to Plant, Grow &amp; Arrange Flowers<\/a> by Bethany Lyttle | Style at Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flower farmer Joanne Feddes offers her top tips for creating a floral arrangement from the ground up. 1.
