Spring Flowers List

Poppies - Come in a variety of colors, sizes, and petal shapes, and they’re great for mass planting in an area to make a statement. Poppies like full sun but only require limited watering. Learn all about Poppies here. 

Hostas - This plant is the savior for black-thumbed gardeners. Hostas are almost impossible to kill, love the shade, are drought-tolerant, and can survive most winters. Their only kryptonite is Deer. Deer love munching on their beautiful leaves. So just be sure to spray them generously with Deer repellant.  If you want to use these to transform your garden trouble spots into a sweet green space, read here to learn more about this gardening superhero. 

Zinnias - These flowers came in just about any shade but blue. Hardy and beautiful planted in mass, these flowers will make you look like a pro. All they need is a sunny spot and a little space. Learn more about this pretty little warrior here.

Impatiens - Got a spot that never gets enough sun? These beauties are for you. Impatiens don’t mind shade at all and only require enough water to keep them from wilting. Look for hybrids so you don’t have to worry about mildew disease.
