Plants That Flower All Year Round
With the right mixture of plants, you can have colorful gardens and landscapes all year. By growing flowers that bloom all year, you cut down on costs typically accrued with seasonal plants, which eventually die back. Use flowering plants like yellow bells to add color along a garden walkway or yard. Plants that flower all year typically require full sun, so make sure the planting site receives at least six hours of sun daily. To minimize watering and retain moisture during the summer, sprinkle mulch around the base of the plants.
