We’ve talked extensively about lawn care techniques you can use in the summer time to keep your grass green, but what about flowers?

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! |

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 |
