If you’ve been waiting until the perfect moment to get gardening, wait no more! With consistently warm weather here to stay and plants all around in bloom to purchase, you’re ready to bring home those flowers you’ve had your eye on. Here are some great suggestions to plant this May:
Perennials
Maybe you want some beautiful perennials that come back every year for the mother in your life to brighten her day. It’s a good thing there are so many to choose from that would suit her tastes, like coneflowers, clematis, peonies, lavender, and dahlias.
Annuals
With the danger of frost now out of the way, you’re safe to plant those warm-season annuals you’ve been thinking about all year. Enjoy Mother’s Day with the mother in your life as you explore options like begonias, geraniums, calendula, marigolds, sunflowers, snapdragon, larkspur, sweet pea, periwinkle, sunflowers, and nasturtium.
Bulbs
You still have time to plant those summer bulbs, which will enjoy this warmer weather even better! There are plenty to choose from, like gladiolus, lilies, elephant ear, and canna.
Trees and Shrubs
Looking to revamp your yard? Freshen up the look of your home with major plant pieces like trees and shrubs! There are plenty of selections, like hydrangeas, magnolias, maples, oak, dogwood, lilac, and butterfly bushes. There are so many vegetation options to fit your needs, whether it’s tall, short, green, colorful, fruitful, ornamental, skinny, or wide.
Fruits and Vegetables
You’re safe to start planting as many fruits and vegetables as you’d like to eat this summer! You have so much to choose from, like lettuce, spinach, onions, zucchini, raspberries, cucumber, tomatoes, blueberries, cabbage, peppers, strawberries, potatoes, eggplant, and even those fall favorites like squash and pumpkin. Now’s also a good time to go to town planting herbs like cilantro, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
