Cineraria
It's hard to resist spending the day outdoors when the weather is as nice as it has been this past week. Even if you've never touched a spade to the earth you find yourself with the urge to plant some flowers.
It's perfect weather to add some spring colors to your pots and refresh those tired flower beds with some new additions.
Gerbera Daisy
If you're starting from scratch, planting in pots are an easy way to add some color to your space while not making a huge commitment. Your best bet for location is a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. Or an area that has a slatted wood or shade cloth patio covering for diffusing sunlight.
Cineraria and Geraniums
When choosing a pot make sure that there's a hole in the bottom for water to drain out. Always use a potting soil versus a planting mix. Potting soils are specifically formulated for containers and will assist in your flower growing success.
Sunscape Daisy
When refreshing flower beds, it's important to remove any old flowers, weeds, or grasses from the growing area. Leaving old growth in the bed to decay will only attract
unpleasant smells and unwanted pests.
Till up the ground and mix in some fresh planting mix and mulch to the top 6 inches of soil.
Phlox Intensia Cabernet
You can get creative with different waves of colors and contrasting mixes in your beds. With all the eye catching options available in the spring you can let your inner designer run wild.
