Creating a colorful garden is all about using seasonal flowers!

I enjoy picking plants that bloom at different times and bring color all year round. Here’s a simple look at some of my favorite flowers for each season:

Spring:

• Tulips: These flowers come in many colors and can change your garden overnight.
• Daffodils: Their bright yellow flowers tell us that warm weather is coming!
• Hyacinths: They smell wonderful, making them a must-have for any garden.

Summer:

• Sunflowers: They are tall and bright yellow, adding lots of cheer to your garden.
• Zinnias: These happy flowers bloom in many colors and are easy to grow.
• Cosmos: They have a light and breezy look and attract helpful bees and butterflies.

Fall:

• Chrysanthemums: Perfect for fall, they add deep colors like burgundy and orange.
• Asters: These late-blooming flowers bring lovely purple and blue shades as the season shifts.
• Sedum: While it’s not a typical flower, its late blooms and beautiful leaves look great in fall.

Winter:

• Pansies: They can handle the cold and still bring pretty colors in winter.
• Hellebores: Also called Lenten roses, they bloom early, sometimes even when there’s still snow.

Mixing these seasonal flowers keeps your garden looking fresh and makes gardening fun all year! Happy planting!
