LIFECYCLE
•Annuals: Annuals are plants that go through a complete life cycle,
from seed to seed, in one growingseason.
•Popular annuals include cosmos, petunias, snapdragons, andzinnias.
•Biennials: Biennials take two years to go through a complete life
cycle. The first season's growth only manifests a few, low-lying
leaves, and the rest of the cycle takes place in the secondseason.
•.
•Perennials: Perennials continue growing, blooming, and seeding for
a number ofyears.
•Favorite perennials include columbines, delphiniums, irises, lilies,
peonies, andtulips.

•There are five different types of
annuals. They are listedbelow:
•Hardy
•HalfHardy
•Tender
•Cool-season
•Warm-season
•Hardy: These can survive in cold
temperatures and some light frost.
Examples are dianthus, calendula,
cornflower, pansy, stocks, viola,
etc.
•Half-hardy: These can tolerate
some cold temperature, but cannot
tolerate frost. Few examples are
blue sage, celome, forget me not,
strawflower, torenia,etc.
ANNUALS
•Tender: This type cannot tolerate cold temperature and should be
planted when there is no risk offrost.
•Tender Bulbs-perennials which cannot survive the winter & must be
taken up each fall & set out each spring after the frost isgone.
They usually bloom during the summermonths
ANNUALS
•Winter annuals Or coolseason:
•are planted in late summer orearly-fall
•begin growing soon afterplanting
•go dormant inwinter
•begin growing again in earlyspring
•die bymid-summer
•This type prefers the cool seasons of spring and fall.
Examples are geranium, petunia andsnapdragon
•Summer annuals or warm season:
•are planted in early spring through earlysummer

The flowers grow during the fall
and release. The life cycle of
biennial plants begins during the fall
continues all through the season
and end of winter intospring.
During the fall the biennial plants
produce onlyleaves.
Then pass the winter period and
bloom in the spring, produce seeds
and thendie.
Complete their lifecycle in 2years.
Produce leaves during 1
st
year
growth.
Produce flowers in the 2
nd
year.
After they bloom, theydie.

•Following are the types ofperennials:
•Herbaceous perennials: These are
more or less soft, succulent stems.
Examples: Asparagus, Oriental puppy,
varieties ofPhlox.
•Woodyperennials:Thesetypesdevelo
woodytrunks.Examples:Maples,Pines
Mexicanbushsageetc.
•Evergreen perennials: This type of
perennials retains their foliage
throughout the year, which means they
keep their leaves green, even in winter.
Examples:Begonia
•Deciduous perennials: This type of
perennials is adjactly opposite to the
evergreen perennials. They loose their
foliage in winter and grow back in spring
Example:Goldenrod.
PERENNIALS
-Examples of Perennials: hyacinth,iris,
daffodil, tulip, poppy, dahlia&mum.
•Hardy Bulbs-perennials which are able to
survive the winter outside &therefore do
not require removal from the soil in the
autumn.
Hardy bulbs usually bloom in the
spring.

•Fern
•A fern is a leafy, vascular, flowerless plant, which
grows in high humidregions.

20,000 species of plantlife.
•Ferns are similar to mosses as they contain xylem and
phloem and so it is a common vascular plant.species.
•Mosses
•Mosses are the amazing plants belonging to versatile
plant groups. These bouncy plants range from the
microscopic growths in soil to the shady carpets of an
inch or two inlength.
•They can grow successfully in all kinds of habitat
from water streams to the deserts. These plants are
mostly seen in the dense, deep forests and the caves.

•GardenPredators
•Garden predators are the
predators, which prove
very beneficial to the
healthy and lush green
plants in thegarden.
•These predators mainly
feed on the pests and other
insects.

•GardenWeeds
•Garden weeds are the plants that grow in wrong
places in the garden. These plants are best adapted
and native to the environmental conditions they grow
in. Some of these plants can be used for decorative,
medicinal and culinary purposes. Blinks, borage,
chickweed, clover, dandelion, etc. are few examples of
weeds.
•Gardenweeds:
The weeds in the garden compete with the other
plants for light, water and space. They can completely
swamp the delicate plant specimens. The seeds
produced by these plants can stay dormant for several
years in soil. These seeds start germinating when they
get favorable climate and soilconditions.
GARDENWEEDS
•These weeds can be categorizedas:
•Annual weeds: The annual weed plants take one season for germination and maturation and die
leaving the seeds for germination in autumn or followingseason.
•Biennial weeds: These weeds take two seasons to mature to produce seeds. In first season, the
seeds germinate in the early summer at the soil level, developing long taproots. In second season,
the upright stems with flowers are produced. These flowers give out the seeds for new plant
growths.
WEEDS
•Perennial weeds: The perennial weeds live for several seasons in the soil.
They immediately germinate in the favorable conditions. These weeds are
the most difficult tocontrol.

•GardenPests
•Garden pests are the common type
organisms found in the garden
plants.
•They may cause some harmful
diseases in the plants. However,

a dwarfed plant but is a properly
maintained bonsai of a full size
tree. Initially it is created with a
specimen of sourcematerial.
BONSAI
•Flower Beds-freestanding planting
made entirely of flowers. They do
not share the site with shrubs or
otherplants.
FLOWER BEDS & FLOWERBORDERS
•Flower Border-planting which is placed in
front of a larger planting of woody
shrubs.They are easier to design & are

•The Beauty of the Proper LandscapingStones
•When most people think of landscaping, they think purely of flowers, shrubs and
trees. More than ever, landscaping stones are becoming an increasingly popular part
of the common flower garden. There are a variety of uses for them and they can be
used in virtually any outdoor setting. It is actually becoming quite uncommon to see a
completed landscaping job that does not incorporatestones.
•One of the first things that are needed is creativity. It is not enough to simply toss a
few rocks in your garden and call it a day. They are typically used to enhance the look
of the work you have already finished. This can be flowers, trees, water fountains or
anything else. If they are positioned properly, they can even serve to increase the value
of yourhome.
•There is a huge variety when it comes to choosing the proper stone. Some people may
have giant boulders at the beginning of their driveways. Some may also have smaller,
flat-faced stones placed carefully in theirgardens.
•The use of stone is not limited to the garden alone. It can also be used in walkways
and patios. These types of walkways and patios tend to be more durable than the
standard wood frames, which are making it an increasingly popularchoice.

•A group of standing stones on Salisbury Plain in southern England. Dating
to c. 2000-1800 B.C., the megaliths are enclosed by a circular ditch and
embankment that may date to c. 2800. The arrangement of the stones
suggests that Stonehenge was used as a religious center and also as an
astronomicalobservatory.
