Flowers to plant in March

 Flowers need water, Sun (light, warmth) and soil or compost to grow. Spring is the best time cause   they get the conditions they need to begin to grow.
 Showery weather gives them the water they need. The longer days which means that have more light and warmth from the Sun. And we all know the Sun is only reason why life in our galaxy exists!
 Let`s see which plants are the best to grow early in spring.

 Flowers to plant in March (I`m just gonna count them a few, my favorites):

 

Coreopsis Rising Sun

 

Also known as Tickseed.  Produces large double golden-yellow flowers, each with a charming mahogany-red eye. 
Plants begin blooming in June and continue all summer, especially if faded blooms are removed regularly!







 

 Delphinium Guardian Blue

 

 Delphinium or even called the star of the early summer.
This flower form a low mound of deeply-cut green leaves, bearing tall spikes of satiny flowers. 
Deep blue petals and strong stems that are great for cutting. Removing faded spikes will encourage repeat blooming in fall. 
 Use a high phosphorous fertilizer each year, in early spring. 

 

 

 

 

 

Echinacea PowWow White

 

Echinacea ‘PowWow White’ is a white-flowered coneflower. well-branched stems that do not need staking. Flowers bloom from late spring to late summer.
Dead flower stems will remain into the winte. If flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds.

 


 

Geum Queen of Orange

 

Common Name :Geum, Avens, Grecian Rose.
It produces slender branching stems rising above neat compact foliage with stunning orange flowers. 
Guaranteed to perform well!
Geum Queen of Orange will flower from May all the way through to August! Excellent ground cover in sun or partial shade and well drained soil.

 

 

Viola Columbine

 


Violet Columbine is a spectacular hybrid with columbine colors--rich blue with white.The basic shades are blue and white, but the composition is a lot more interesting. The scented flowers are a soft, lilac-infused white marbled and streaked with violet-blue and held about 10in high. Plants start flowering toward the end of May and carry on into fall.

 

 

 

Strawberry Elan

 

 Who doesn`t like strawberries? Everyone does, its a nice sweet, delicious flavour caused by high sugar levels.
My advice is to plant early enough (end of March)!
Enjoy the sweet taste!

Fast growing and vigorous that always looks good whatever the weather!
