    Great Landscaping Ideas - part 2

    Spring



    Forsythia Shrubs - The end of winter ushers in the vibrant colors of spring where flowers bloom in profusion. More often that not, after a long and cold winter season we all look forward to enjoy the welcome sight of pulsating hues of spring. The forsythia shrubs are among the early bloomers in spring, sporting sunny yellow flowers that become a perfect fixture of spring. One of the charming characteristics of forsythia is the fact that the plant flowers tend to precede its leaves, so you can enjoy a charming burst of color just when you need it most.



    Weeping Flowering Trees –weeping trees are among the popular choices for a spring landscape, particularly the snow fountain cherry-weeping tree that blossom best in well drained soil and exposure to full sunlight.



    Rhododendrons and Azaleas – Most landscaping artists usually group these two together. Among the popular choices is the Catawba Rhododendron variety, which is a broadleaf evergreen bush with some leathery foliage, and spring flowers that tend to attract hummingbirds. The great thing about this plant is it is so easy to transfer but would require acidic soil and some shady location for maximum growth. Its flowers are available in white, rose, and lavender with bushes than can reach as high as 6-8 feet and spread as wide as 4-6 feet.



    Lilac Shrubs – The lavender-blue cluster flowers of this plant are expected to be in full bloom late in spring. This means, when all other spring plants have done their show and strutted their stuff, you can expect the lilac bushes to take center stage to show off its own display of blooms. It also has a wonderful fragrance that adds to its captivating sight and is actually hailed to be one of the most wonderful aromas in the world.
