thank you it has help
It would help to go look at the plants or flowers at your local nursery or Lowes. All plants/flowers will have a tag to let you know if it is a perennial or annual. Annual plants have to be bought again every year. Perennials come back every year. Once again, the tag will tell you how often the perennial plant blooms, how high and wide it will grow so you can allow enough room in the area being planted. It will tell you if it needs part shade or full sun, how much water, etc....
Also,to make it easy to remove the grass in the area you plan on planting your flowers. Lay newspaper down on the whole area. Leave it there until it starts killing the grass underneath. Once it's dead, pull it out from the doors so it doesn't come back. When you dig you hole for each plants, dig deeper and wider than the plant. Use "Miracle Grow" potting soil. To fill bottom and sides of hole. I also like watering the soil with the Miracle Grow feed. Just put a scoop of two in a gallon of water and pour some over the soil. It helps get it started. Good luck
