The Five Best Flowers to Grow in The Summer

Delilah

Dahlias are one of the most versatile bulbs for the summer garden. While dwarf types reach only a few inches high, some can grow as much as six feet high. Dahlias need a place with full sun and moisture to grow properly. In colder climates, dig the tubers and store them in a frost-free place for the winter. Don’t forget though – a summer garden is nothing without a properly cared for lawn. If you are in the Dallas, Plano or Garland area, give us a call today!

Caladium

The Caladium is an ideal choice for a shady corner. The Caladium bears colorful leaves of pink, red and white. Since the leaves are colorful, you don’t have to worry about the plant going out of bloom. They grow best in full shade and in moist but well-drained soil.

Gloriosa Lily

The Gloriosa lily is an ideal plant for growing in a container on a deck or patio. When it blooms, in produces a beautiful exotic shade of yellow and red. Gloriosa lily grows best in a full sun and with moist, but well drained soil

Butterfly Ginger

Butterfly Ginger is an underrated choice amongst the summer flower community. The flower offers beautiful flower clusters throughout the summer months, appearing in shades of white, apricot, pink and cream. These flowers also, more times than not, have a great fragrance with them too – a perfect way to compliment your freshly mowed lawn you received from your favorite lawn care service company in the Plano, Dallas and Garland area. Butterfly ginger grows best in full sun with moist but well-drained soil.

Elephant Ears

Elephant ears are by far my favorite summer plant. These plants produce huge leaves that can reach as big as 4 feet or more in size. The size ranges by type; others reach no more than 2 feel tall. Some Elephant Leaves have golden or purple leaves, as well. Elephant’s ear grows best on partially shaded areas with moist but well-drained soil. They are also a great compliment to a well-mowed lawn
