to your yard



decorative-flower-gardens, flowering bushes and other plants add color to your yard landscape. You can choose various hews of a single color or a variety of colors, designed to color your yard all year round. Your garden has a personality of its' own, and definitely reflects yours.

Green Hostas Plants

There are many flowers that bloom throughout the year but do not need to be planted each year. These are called perennial plants. Perennials bloom in their own season, where annuals bloom all summer long, and then annuals have to be replanted again the next year.

pink roses



A few annuals will re-seed themselves, like marigolds, alysum, snapdragons, and cosmos etc. These plants will often take over an area if you aren't particularly careful with them. Other annuals like petunias have to be planted each year. Blooming Cactus

Bulbs like crocus, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips etc bloom in the early spring.





Orange Lily

Orange lily Generally lilies bloom a little later in the spring and early summer.

The biggest drawback I have found with bulb plants is that the pesky gophers just love to eat their bulbs. If you find a way to rid the lawn and gardens of this pest, I'd sure like to know about it.





Yellowish Pink Lilies

Later in the year, there are perennial plants to choose from, such as black-eyed Susan, bleeding hearts, daisies, cushion mums, larger and taller chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, and a myriad of other flowers.

You can literally keep your yard in constant color using perennial plantings. Don't forget to feed some nutrients to those plants in early spring and every couple weeks. They will grow and mature much quicker with proper watering and nutritional feedings.
