I know absolutely nothing about gardening, but want to plant some flowers in my garden. Preferably where they continue to bloom for several years. Any ideas? Thanks!
Carnations are great flowers that bloom for most of the summer and come back every year. You can look here http://www.gardening-advice.net/growing-carnations.html for growing conditions and tips. Also great is lavender, chrysanthemums, crocosmias and daylilies.
Always check up on the growing conditions that each plant needs.
