Red always makes an impression. When your garden is feeling a little glum, add a pop of red to spice things up. No matter where you plant a red flower, it will become a centerpiece in your garden, and you’ll look forward to its blooms all year long. We love red flowers for their impact, but many of them also have strong associations with Southern gardens and gardeners. Red roses are, of course, the obvious choice when it comes to iconic red flowers, but there are lots of other species that also make lovely plantings in the garden. Reach for geraniums for a springtime rush of red that looks lovely in a hanging basket, or go for red chrysanthemums in pots to flank a front door. Red is an instant shortcut to curb appeal, after all. Here are 15 of our favorite red flowers that you’ll love having in the garden.

27 of the Best Dahlia Varieties for Your Garden
We bought an old house and have been working extra hard on a self-build extension and house renovation for the last seven months. We have installed a big fixed window pane with the idea of looking out on to a lovely green back garden, but at the moment it is just a mound of earth, derived from the dig to get foundations done. What can I place here that will green quickly and also be bee and bird friendly and give us some nice colours and view for this summer? Would a wild flower meadow be the way to go until we figure out what to do with space or what can you recommend that is eco and purse friendly? RH, Co Dublin
Whenever I am working to resolve water problems in a landscape, I must acknowledge that water will always win. The best we can do is creatively direct it toward the areas where we would like it to end up, with a focus on minimizing erosion damage and retaining as much water as possible for use on site. Plants can be part of the solution, and some erosion control systems even double as useful outdoor spaces like patios and walkways. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking about how you can manage rainwater in your own garden.

Nigeria boasts a wide variety of native Nigerian flowers that are synonyms to the country’s diverse ecosystems. These blooms are also vital for bees, butterflies, and birds, which play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance.
For most of the Southwest, “dry” is a normal state of affairs. We live in a complex mosaic of arid, semi-arid, and seasonally arid zones that make most generalizations impossible. And an especially wet or dry season can throw all calculations off, making our usual watering routines irrelevant. We must be willing to adjust to ensure plant health in our gardens.
