One of the most frequent requests my customers make during a landscape consultation is for more color…and by this they usually mean flowers. As a garden geek myself, I understand this desire and look for every opportunity to have something in bloom twelve months of the year. So in advance of writing this blog, I went through my photo library from 2016 looking for a photos of something that was flowering in every month.
It wasn’t difficult. In fact, for every month I could choose from at least three different blooming plants and usually more. If you live on Cape Cod it’s possible to have several plants in bloom throughout the year. Here’s just a small selection of what you can plant for flowers in all 12 months.
So as the snow falls this winter, start thinking about which months you could use more in bloom in your yard and gardens. Once spring comes, you’ll be able to put in plants that will provide you with 12 months of flowers.
These are some great suggestions for year round gardening. I shall have to add one or two to my spring planting list. I wandered around the flowerbeds today as the snow continued to disappear. To my great surprise many of the daffodils were peeking out of the ground. Now, I know it is way too early and I shouldn’t rush the season but catalogs are starting to arrive and I’m starting to get itchy fingers. Lots of decisions to be made long before the trowel hits the dirt.
as always, thank you!
