Flower gardens add visual interest to your home, improve its curb appeal and encourage you to interact with nature. When planning a colorful flower garden, include a variety of perennials, annuals and bulbs that bloom at various times during the spring, summer and fall, so you can enjoy the flowers for several months at a time. Choose a two-color scheme, such as reds and pinks or blues and purples. Select one color, such as yellow or orange, and plant flowers in various hues, or plant flowers in five or six colors for a more dramatic garden. Use a color wheel to choose various color combinations or coordinate your flowers with the colors of your house or outdoor decor.
