Spring Flowers
Flowers are everywhere! Spring is here and now is the time to start planting those summer flowers that will bloom all they way until October. I cannot think of a better way to bring some excitement back to a landscape than adding some fresh flowers that will last half of the year.
Make this fun, change it up from year to year, we have a pretty wide selection of flowers to choose from in the Greater Houston area. I will be writing a short article everyday giving my take on each one, how we like to use it in our Landscape Design and how we maintain it.
My list
Here is a full list of all the flowers and plants that I will cover in my short articles that will help enhance your landscape.
Angelonia
Begonia
Blue Daze
Coleus
Gerber Daisy
Heliotrope
Impatiens
Lantana
Maricold
Nasturtium
Pinta
Portulaca – Moss Rose
Potato Vine
Salvia
Scaevola
Sunflower
Verbena
Vinca
Zinnia
This is just a short list of the most popular plants in our area. There are hundreds more to choose from if you want something different than all of your neighbors. I recommend just walking around your local specialty nursery and have some fun. Ask the staff for some help in choosing the plant that is just right for your space.
If you have have questions or you want to learn about a plant that I missed in my list please call or text us at 281-203-7615. You can also send us an email at
service@archerservices.flywheelsites.com. We would love to hear from you!
In the mean time get out and enjoy this beautiful Spring weather!
