2. Define the Terms
- Direct seeding: placement of seeds
in the ground.
- Bedding plants: herbaceous plant
preseeded &growing in a peat pot
or packet container.

- Bulbs: flowering perennial which survives
the winter.
3. • LIFE CYCLE
• The life cycle of a plant can be looked at as
having four stages.
• The plant begins as a seed; goes through the
growth process of creating roots, stems, and
leaves; flowers; and returns to seed.
• The classification system of annuals, biennials,
and perennials informs you how a particular
plant goes through this cycle
LIFE CYCLE
4. • Annuals: Annuals are plants that go through a complete life cycle,
from seed to seed, in one growing season.
• Popular annuals include cosmos, petunias, snapdragons, and zinnias.
• 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 second season.
• .
• Perennials: Perennials continue growing, blooming, and seeding for
a number of years.
• Favorite perennials include columbines, delphiniums, irises, lilies,
peonies, and tulips.
Define the Terms
6. & Biennials
Annuals:
- Flower that completes it life cycle in one year.
- Goes from seed to blossom in a single growing season
&dies as winter approaches.
- Most commonly used in summer landscapes.
Among Annuals, Perennials
8. • There are five different types of
annuals. They are listed below:
• Hardy
• Half Hardy
• 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
9. • Tender: This type cannot tolerate cold temperature and should be
planted when there is no risk of frost.
• Tender Bulbs- perennials which cannot survive the winter & must be
taken up each fall &set out each spring after the frost is gone.
They usually bloom during the summer months
ANNUALS
10. • Few examples are balsm, begonia, celosia,
coleus, impatiens, morning glory, petunia,
verbena, vinca, zinnia etc..
Tender Bulbs
11. • Winterannuals Orcool season:
• are planted in late summer or early-fall
• begin growing soon after planting
• go dormant in winter
• begin growing again in early spring
• die by mid-summer
• This type prefers the cool seasons of spring and fall.
Examples are geranium, petunia and snapdragon
• Summer annuals orwarm season :
• are planted in early spring through early summer
• begin growing soon after planting
• produce most of their forage in summer
• die in fall or early winter
• This type of annuals do not tolerate frost. Examples
are pentas, blue daze and four o' clocks.
ANNUALS
16. Biennials:
The flowers grow during the fall
and release. The life cycle of
biennial plants begins during the fall
continues allthrough the season
and end of winter into spring.
During the fall the biennial plants
produce only leaves.
Then pass the winter period and
bloom in the spring, produce seeds
and then die.
Complete their lifecyclein 2 years.
Produce leaves during 1st year
growth.
Produce flowers in the 2nd year.
After they bloom, they die.
BIENNIALS
17. • Some of the biennial plants are listed below:
• Flower Plants: Wall flower, Foxglove, French honey suckle, Money Plant,
Daffodils, Hyacinths, SweetWilliams,Canterbury bells, Hollyhocks,
Lupines, Primerose, Carnation.
• Vegetables: Parsley, cabbage, beet, onion, carrotetc.
BIENNIALS
22. Perennials:
Perennials are considered to be
ornamental plants
Flower which does not die at the
end of I ts first growing season.
Becomes dormant in cold weather,
but blooms again the following
year.
Most live 3 – 4 years or longer.
Nearly allspring flowers are
perennials.
PERENNIALS
23. p
.
• Following are the types of perennials:
• Herbaceous perennials: These are
more or less soft, succulent stems.
Examples:Asparagus, Oriental puppy,
varieties of Phlox.
• Woody perennials: These types develo
woody trunks. Examples: Maples, Pines
Mexican bush sage etc.
• 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
25. • 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.
Tender Bulbs
30. • Fern
• Afern is a leafy,vascular, flowerless plant, which
grows in high humid regions.
• Afern consists of a collection or group of about
20,000 species of plant life.
• 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 in length.
• They can grow successfully in allkinds of habitat
from water streams to the deserts. These plants are
mostly seen in the dense, deep forests and the caves.
These plants easilygrow in any environmental
conditions where the other plants cannot.
FERN&MOSSES
31. • Garden Predators
• Garden predators are the
predators, which prove
very beneficial to the
healthy and lush green
plants in the garden.
• These predators mainly
feed on the pests and other
insects.
• The various kinds of
garden predators includes,
ladybugs, mantises,
lacewings, herons, aphids,
bugs, spider mites, beetles,
wasps, etc.
GARDEN PREDATORS
32. • Garden Weeds
• 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.
• Garden weeds:
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 soil conditions.
GARDEN WEEDS
33. • These weeds can be categorized as:
• Annual weeds: The annual weed plants take one season for germination and maturation and die
leaving the seeds for germination in autumn or following season.
• 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
34. • 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 to control.
PERENNIALS WEEDS
35. • Garden Pests
• Garden pests are the common type
organisms found in the garden
plants.
• They may cause some harmful
diseases in the plants. However,
some of the insects may be
harmless with some value.
• Ranging from aphids to slugs are
some of the infective pests causing
damage and diseases in the garden.
• There are numerous types of pests,
which are a part of the nature,
however there are some
controlling measures that willhelp
you to get rid of these pests.

indigenous and are introduced from
other part of the world, are called as
naturalized.
• Those flowers, which are indigenous
to the country, are referred as

and developing them into an
appealing structure by growing,
pruning, roots reduction, potting,
defoliation, grafting and trimming
them in containers.
• This is basicallyor genetically not
a dwarfed plant but is a properly
maintained bonsai of a full size
tree. Initially it is created with a
specimen of source material.
BONSAI
38. • Flower Beds- freestanding planting
made entirely of flowers. They do
not share the site with shrubs or
other plants.
FLOWER BEDS & FLOWER BORDERS
39. • Flower Border- planting which is placed in

42. • The Beauty of the Proper Landscaping Stones
• 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 incorporate stones.
• 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 typicallyused 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 your home.
• 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 their gardens.
• The use of stone is not limited to the garden alone. It can also be used in walkways
and patios. These types of walkwaysand patios tend to be more durable than the
standard wood frames, which are making it an increasingly popular choice.
ROCK SCAPING
47. • 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
astronomical observatory.
