Flowers That are Good to Plant During Spring

While there are many flowers you could plant around your yard, these are the ones we recommend for the spring season.

With spring finally here, homeowners are getting ready to savor the warm weather that comes with the new season. One way to get enjoyment from your outdoor landscape is to add some color in the form of new flowers. While there are many flowers you could plant around your yard, these are the ones we recommend for the spring season.

Dahlias

Dahlias are great for improving the look of your yard because these flowers come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. They should only be planted after the last frost has occurred. Along with that, the soil needs to be warm when they’re planted to ensure that they grow properly. You can expect dahlias to bloom sometime in the mid-summer and last into the fall.

Pansies

Pansies are the kinds of spring flowers that you can plant early on in the season. This is because pansies have a lot of resistance to the cold relative to other spring flowers. Much like with dahlias, you can get pansies in a variety of colors. The difference is that they bloom early in the year, so you can start enjoying their beauty sooner. Expect pansies to bloom in late spring, and last as long as fall.

Peonies

Peonies are among the later bloomers when it comes to spring flowers. They offer beautiful blooms when the time arrives, however, making them worth the wait. You can choose from herbaceous variants, as well as woody ones. A landscape design company can help you decide on which types of peonies to get if you’re unsure yourself.

Marigolds

Marigolds are perfect for people who want warm and lively colors in their yard. You can find marigolds in yellow and orange colors, and you can also consider getting a mix of both to add a little color variety to your landscape. Something else that’s nice about marigolds is that they deter pests, which makes them great for planting next to vegetables. You can expect these flowers to start blooming around the end of spring, and their blooms should last until around fall.
