Flowering Shrubs Make your walks and patios look excellent

Have you ever been to an old Plantation home and been amazed at how gorgeous it looks to walk down a long a brick, concrete or paved path with lovely shrubs on either side. It gives you a feeling of warmth and makes you feel invited to embrace the warm feeling surrounding you of gorgeous flowering shrubs. It makes you feel as if you are a part of the shrubbery itself because it embraces you.

When trying to make a gorgeous walk or patio the best way to do it is to make a plan. The most exciting part of the process is selecting the plants. Ideally, you will have become familiar with plants native to your region and site and know their basic cultural requirements. Collect lists of plants and plant communities for sun, shade, wet, bird-attracting, etc. from which to make your selections. Remember: To Suit the plants to the region, plant community, soil conditions and microclimate. Think in three strata—canopy, shrub layer, groundcover. Place shrubs, forbs, grasses in groups of three, five, or more. Avoid planting in pairs—the eye jumps back and forth between the two. The exception is trees; you may have space for only one or two. Avoid planting in straight lines or perfect circles. Do not use too many species in small areas. Use repetition of groups of plants and colors to allow the eye to flow through the landscape. Be aware of each plant’s ultimate height and spread at maturity. Do not overplant nor plant too close to structures. Enjoy the growth process.

 

If you remember these few pointers when trying to decorate your walk or patio then you will have a yard that your family and neighbors will swear that you paid to have professionally landscaped. Also remember what time of year it is, this will give you the best yard possible.

 

Seeding prairies in late spring or early summer typically produces good results. Most flowers and grasses are warm season plants which germinate best after soil temperatures have warmed up. Grasses do best with spring and summer seedlings. Planting in spring or early summer allows for better pre-planting weed control than fall seeding. Prairie plantings can be successfully seeded through mid-July. Fall seeding can be very successful, too, especially on dry soils. Fall plantings are dormant seedlings (the seeds will not germinate until next spring). Fall plantings on dry soils allow seeds to germinate in early spring and become established before the heat of summer. Clay soils can also benefit from fall plantings. Young seedlings can become established before the clay dries out in summer and restricts root growth. Careful soil preparation and weed control is essential with fall plantings. Native flowers exhibit higher germination when planted in fall. You can find a great selection at www.tnnursery.net.
