Imagine something exciting is blooming today: It's National Plant a Flower Day! As the weather warms and spring rolls into town, today is the perfect day to enjoy the beauty of flowers, to celebrate their benefits, and most importantly... to get outside and plant some yourself!
Flowers bring a pop of color and life to our gardens and containers. But beyond aesthetics, they play a vital role in our environment. Flowers provide food and habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies, essential for healthy ecosystems.
Growing flowers doesn’t have to be a single-season event; when you grow perennials, their season-spanning blooms and attractive foliage ensure that you can enjoy natural beauty all year long.
Looking for a flower that's both elegant and easy to care for? Look no further than Ever White™ Agapanthus. These stunning perennials boast crisp white, lily-like blooms atop tall, graceful stalks. Ever White™ adds a touch of sophistication to any garden and pairs beautifully with other flowers. A continuous display of blooms dazzles in the spring and summer months. Plant them in borders or containers or use them as cut flowers for a touch of elegance indoors.
Plum Power™ Lavender is a new heat-loving and water-wise pick that bursts forth in a continuous wave of vibrant, sweet-smelling blooms across three seasons. This disease-resistant variety of lavender thrives in hot and sunny climates, making it perfect for gardeners in warmer regions. Fragrant blooms fill the garden with a sweet scent and attract pollinators that will keep your landscape buzzing with life.
If your garden is low on sunshine and in serious need of year-round interest, look no further than ‘Soft Caress’ Mahonia. This compact evergreen shrub will add textural interest with feathery, soft foliage contrasted by cheery yellow flower stalks in winter.
