Spring
This year we want to bring to you all the collors that Spring can bring from A to Z. We have listed below a variety of plants that will burst your landscaping in a very collorful way.
Begonia
Dragon Wing
Wax Leaf
Summer Annual
Requires: Sun and/or Shade
Season To Plant: Spring & Summer
With an abundant display of pink red and white flowers on top of Shiny leaves make this plant an all time favorite for mass planting in our area. The bronze leaf or darker foliage varieties are generally used for full sun locations while the Grean-leafed varieties are more generally used for part sun and part shade areas. Plant Begonias any time after last frost to enjoy a display of color until late fall.
Category: Annual
Prefers: Mostly sun, Full Sun
Size: 12-18" tall, 6-12" Spacing
Season to plant: Spring
Sightly fragrant. Frost tolerant. Bazillions of brilliant colored blooms. Available for early spring planting. And when planted in mass groupings there is nothing more show stopping than a bed of Petunia for the spring to make them one of the most widely used annuals here in North Texas.
Get petunias planted early and well established in organically rich well drained fertile soil before the summer heat to help them survive our summers. They Prefer the cooler nights and warmer days of spring and early summer, but with a little care they can endure the heat. Giving the plants a well needed trim and pruning when they begin to stretch from the heat, will aid the most.
To trim them it is okay to remove as much as half the plant, it takes just over a week for them to re-flush and bloom again. Fertilize on a regular basis, and make sure they have adequate water as the summer months turn on the burner.

The number one plant choice for our North Texas shaded gardens and patios with a great selection of colors to choose from with single flowers on bushy green plants.
Plant Impatiens in well amended rich soil beds. Fertilize on the easy side, over-fertilization will cause agressive plant growth and delay blooming.
Although Impatiens love the shade, filtered sun and morning sun with afternoon shade are best.
When planted in deep dense shade with no filtered sun at all the plants may not bloom as well for you.
Periwinkle
Category: Annual
Prefers: Sun
Season to plant:Spring & Summer
Size: 12-20" tall, 6-10" spacing
Sold by: Flats & individual
One of the most popular summer annuals for our heat and sun. The hotter it gets the happier they are.
Even with the newer generations of periwinkles like Cora, the ones that we sell, we are not totally out of the woods for disease issues and virus'. Yes they are bred to be more resistant but not immune. With a few cultural practices and planting habits we can help keep them healthy and the beds ready to grow them for years to come.
-
Try not to plant them too early. Periwinkles do not like wet or cool, they love it hot and dry.
-
Rotate your flowers from year to year, do not plant periwinkles in the same beds each year, especially if there was an issue the prior year.
-
Keep them on the dry side early. Only water enough to get them established, more water is not better.
Hibiscus

Prefers: Sun
Season to plant:Spring & Summer
Size: 18-24" tall, 15-20" wide

The Floral grade hibiscus are grown using different techniques to keep them more compact with darker glossy foliage. This treatment will last most of the summer. By the end of the season they will be about twice the size of when your bought them to start.
Hibiscus is the most tropical of all the plants that we can use to make believe we have escaped to the islands in our own back yard and enjoy all summer long until the first frost next winter. Fertilize often and liberally through out the summer for peak performance.
