Flowers are everywhere! Spring is here and now is the time to start planting those summer flowers that will bloom all the way through October. I cannot think of a better way to bring some excitement back to a landscape design than by adding some fresh flowers that will last half of the year.
To make this fun, consider changing it up from year to year. In fact, at Archer Services, we have a pretty wide selection of flowers to choose from. Because we’re located in the Greater Houston area, our city’s big slice of Texas accommodates a host of beautiful Spring blooms. In this article, and in the coming posts, I’ll be discussing various flower species that bloom well in our climate. Furthermore, we’ll share how we like to use these flowers in our landscape designs, and how we maintain them.
