Here in North Texas where we have year-round warm temperatures, you are likely looking for ways to have year-round flower gardens. You want your plant beds and containers to bloom with colorful plants and flowers throughout the seasons so that your North Texas home always looks its best.
Maintaining visual interest throughout the year will help ensure that your home or business always boasts the best curb appeal.
Fortunately, there are many great flowers for year-round color.
We know that you might feel stressed about lacking knowledge on which plants thrive throughout the year. But don’t worry…that’s why we’re here to help. We can remove the guesswork so that all you have to do is enjoy year-round beauty.
Whether you are looking to add seasonal interest to a flower bed or even some container gardens, your goal is probably the same. You want beautiful flowers that keep your property looking its best throughout the year.
Here at Grassperson, we always encourage our clients to embrace seasonal beauty. There are different flowers that bloom at different times of the year, ensuring that you always have something eye-catching to enjoy.
Typically, we use a mix of annuals and perennials to achieve year-round appeal.
Our clients often like to switch out color for the Spring, Summer, and Winter seasons. Due to the North Texas climate, three changes are often suitable for our area and will provide that year-round color that people seek.
The trick to having thriving year-round color is choosing the right plants for the different seasons.
Keep in mind that it’s not enough for a certain plant to perform well during a certain season. You also need to install it somewhere on your property where it will thrive. As you may already know, certain plants are more shade-tolerant than others (just as some need more sun than others).
Soil conditions and drainage are also considerations when deciding where to install flowers.
To give you some inspiration, the following are some of our most popular flowers for year-round color.
Of all the seasons, Springtime is probably the one most associated with flowers. We have an abundance of choices when it comes to Spring flowers but these are some of our favorites.
Summers in North Texas can be quite hot. But there are still lots of great options for your plant beds and containers. Some of our favorite flowers for this season include the following choices.
Because the Fall season is short, some property owners skip switching out flowers for this season. Your summer flowers will often last pretty far into the Fall and then you might go right into Winter options, giving you a year-round flower garden with only three switches.
However, the Fall does have its own set of beautiful choices. Some of our favorites include these flowers.
Here in North Texas our mild climate allows for beautiful flowers in the Winter, too. The Winter is also a great time to finish other landscaping projects that you want to make sure are ready for the Spring season.
Here are some Winter flower choices for your change-outs.
It’s not just selecting the right plants for year-round appeal. It’s also how you design those installations that will contribute to the appeal of your results. Factors like layout, spacing, and color schematics are critical considerations that require an eye for design.
One common mistake is to not use enough flowers. But having a few flowers “here or there” is ultimately not going to give you that wow factor that you’re looking for.
In fact, planting flowers without a lot of thought given to the layout can start to look scattered and messy—like there was no rhyme or reason to where you put them. This is what makes spacing so important.
You also want to make wise color choices so that your flower selections work together. A wild array of different colors could end up looking sloppy and unplanned. You want your finished result to look like a professionally designed installation.
Sometimes this means using color blocking, which involves using a large grouping of one color at a time. But there are also ways to mix colors together, it just has to be done with some forethought and planning. It’s all about having that eye for design.
We understand that these are areas where people often feel uncomfortable which is one of the big benefits of working with a landscape professional. They will know the right mix of flowers that will perform well together (both physically and visually). They’ll also be able to ensure you have flowers for year-round color.
This removes the hassles and headaches involved in figuring out which flowers are going to work best for which season.
Figuring out what to plant (and how and where to plant it) can be a lot of work. For that reason, you might want to let go of the worries and let a pro handle all of this for you.
The fact is, landscaping in North Texas is directly linked to the value of your home or your business…as well as how much you enjoy your property on a day to day basis. The last thing that you want is to be unhappy with how things look simply because you didn’t pick the right plants for landscaping.
You not only want flowers for year-round color, but you want to ensure that you’ve made wise selections that will continue to perform their best throughout the year.
At the end of the day, we understand that you simply want to know that your landscape is in good hands and will continue to perform well. By making the wise investment to work with a pro, you can sit back and relax knowing that you’re in good hands.
