The Joys of Landscaping!
It's almost Spring, time for planting season states Dennis from Tennessee Wholesale Nursery. Whether you have just bought a house or are just anxious to get planting, there are some things to take into consideration. The first thing you must do is check your plant hardiness zones for where you live. This tells you what to plant, when, and if it will survive your Winter temperatures. Individual plants can only survive in warmer temperatures.
This means, although you love those tropical plants, you cannot plant them in Northern states, as they will not survive for next year. If you want temporary, that's okay, know they won't survive.
What do you plant?
First, you have to know the difference between Perennials and Annuals. Perennials are flowers that come back every year. Annuals are substitute flowers that only survive throughout the Summer and are generally used as "fill-ins" between perennial blooms, and pots throughout the home. You will also need to research when individual plants bloom so that you can plant others that will thrive after the others, for a full season of color. There are also lots of places you can go to purchase other exotics and perennial plants for sale.
Does all of this sound too complicated?
Why not take a low maintenance approach? Go with native plants for your area, as natives are always hardier. These are the types of plants that you see growth naturally along the sides of the roads and in the woods. An example would be Mountain Laurel bushes. They have beautiful pink and white flowers on them that bloom in the Spring in zones 4-9. Another example is the Rhododendron bushes that grow wild in the mountains, with big beautiful purple flowers. When you first plant them, everything needs to be nurtured, but once they are acclimated, they will provide years of beauty for your yard, virtually maintenance-free.
Why choose native plants?
If you don't have a "green thumb," natives are always hardier. Once established, you don't do anything other than trim once in a while. Native plants are low maintenance and strive in weak soil areas. According to where you live, plants which strive in weak soil areas, examples are Irises in clay soil, Black-eyed Susans for sandy soil, and the Lenten Rose are just a few to name.
Planting autumn annuals and fall flowers in your September yard complement your fall-foliage trees to create an awesome autumn yard.
Artificial grass is a low maintenance alternative to a real lawn, although many people believe that this means no maintenance.The great thing about artificial grass is that it's non toxic and very soft.
That's why it's perfect for children to play on, indoors and out.
There's several ways you can use artificial grass for play areas and rooms.
You can simply carpet a whole room in it, in the same way you'd lay a traditional carpet.
There are many reasons in using decorative lifelike artificial plants and trees.
They are the perfect solution where the light situation isn’t good enough and where a real plant wouldn’t survive.
Artificial plants and trees free you of any maintenance costs and help you save money.
