What kinds of flowering plants can bring color to my yard immediatly?

Answer 1

easy annuals can be put almost anywhere. petunias can add purple, pink, red and white to your yard. they love the sun, bloom profusely, and are darn near impossible to kill. if you're in a cooler clime, fill a tractor tire with soil and plant 'em in that... they'll take off. marigolds and mums can provide orange, red, and yellow highlights (mums actually come in a wide variety of colors). marigolds are also prolific bloomers, but some people have an adverse reaction to their strong odor...i kind of like it actually. mums are for later in the season, where i live in the upper midwest, they are fall bloomers.

if you're looking to color a shady area, impatiens are the way to go. they have tiny blooms in reds, pinks, and whites. coleus have brightly colored leaves, sometimes three or four colors per leaf.

azaleas grow well in southern parts of the us... and their bright blooms are a welcome sign of spring. maybe you've seen them blooming at golf tournaments on tv in georgia during february and march.

geraniums are easy to grow in pots, and they also require little effort. their red and white blooms are brilliant, and their rounded leaves may also have colored markings. add purple ageratum for a vivid contrast to white geraniums.

their are perennials that do quite nicely, but you won't get immediate results. plant hyacinth and tulip bulbs in the fall for early color the following spring... a good source is dutch gardens, or almost any mail order catalog. i haven't had very good luck with daffodils, maybe yours will be better.

peonies are fragrant and beautiful, but take a few years to establish. roses require quite a bit more maintenance and fertilizing, but the results can be outstanding. bright foolproof daylilies add color and structure with their tall brilliant blooms and spiky foliage. and hostas can provide surprising structure in shady places, with their huge leaves in varying shades of green or white.

if you have any questions about which plants would do best in your climate or hardiness zone, ask a local nursery or landscape professional. there are also excellent books and magazines available, which will provide you with design ideas. it should be fun, so relax and go with what you'll enjoy. good luck!
