How to Plant in Front of a Gazebo

According to Fine Gardening magazine, a gazebo can be the focal point of your yard. If so, the plants in front of the gazebo can draw even more attention to it. Before you plant in front of your gazebo decide what you want to accomplish. Do you want a plethora of flowering plants or a mask of greenery? Or maybe you prefer climbing plants that can drape themselves over your gazebo in the summertime and create a cool retreat.

Instructions

Decide what plants you want to plant in front of your gazebo. Annual and perennial flowers will make a splash all spring and summer long, like pansies, peonies and snap dragons. Greenery such as hostas and ferns are good if your gazebo is in a shady location. Climbing plants like clematis, honeysuckle and wisteria can climb the sides of the gazebo.

Rake all of the large rocks from the ground in front of the gazebo and remove all the weeds. Add a layer of 2 to 4 inches of compost to the soil and work it in to a depth of 8 to 10 inches.

Dig holes for the plants of your choosing. Dig the holes as deep as the plants' root balls and three times as wide. Place the plants into the holes and fill the holes with soil.

Water the plants well for 5 to 10 minutes after planting them.
