How to Design a Flowering Landscape Bed

🌺 How to Design a Flowering Landscape Bed 🌿
With Byrd’s Lawn and Landscape

Living on the Space Coast means sunshine, warm weather, and the perfect conditions to create a stunning flowering landscape bed that thrives year-round! At Byrd’s Lawn and Landscape, we know Florida-friendly landscaping, and we’re here to help you design a bed that brings color, beauty, and curb appeal to your home.

Here’s our quick guide to designing a flowering bed that pops:

🌞 1. Know Your Sunlight

Palm Bay’s sunshine is strong—choose a location based on how much sun the area gets.

• Full Sun (6+ hours): Go for plants like Lantana, Salvia, or Blanket Flower.

• Partial Shade: Consider Pentas, Impatiens, or Caladiums.

🏝️ 2. Pick Florida-Friendly Plants

Choose heat-tolerant, drought-resistant varieties that love the Florida climate:

• Tropical Vibes: Hibiscus, Plumbago, Bird of Paradise

• Pollinator Favorites: Coreopsis (Florida's state wildflower), Milkweed, Firebush

• Ground Covers: Blue Daze, Periwinkle, or Dwarf Liriope

🧱 3. Plan Your Layout

Layer your plants:

• Tall plants in the back (or center for round beds)

• Medium blooms in the middle

• Low-growing or trailing flowers in the front for a cascading effect

Don’t forget to leave room for growth!

🌿 4. Add Definition

Define the bed with a clean edge. Byrd’s can install:
✅ Natural stone borders
✅ Paver edging
✅ Mulch or rock finishes (we’ll help you pick the right one!)

💧 5. Smart Watering

Install drip irrigation or schedule smart watering times. The Space Coast’s sandy soil drains quickly—our team can help adjust your watering plan to keep those blooms healthy.
