As the tulips and bulbs wither, it is time to think about spring flowers for your pots and beds. These will last you until mid-summer, depending on the variety of you choose. Plant early and enjoy them longer.
We are looking forward to gardening for you this year.[/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h2″ style=”false” color=”#393836″ size=”26″ font_weight=”inherit” font_style=”inhert” letter_spacing=”0″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”18″ font_family=”none” align=”left”]Plant Of The Month: Kerria Japonica Pleniflora[/mk_fancy_title][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]This spring, Ellie (8) and Clara (5) are enjoying all of the bursting colors. Flowering pears, cherries and plum trees are every-where. These trees are quickly leafing out and losing their petals.
Kerria, Pieris, rhodedehndrons and azaleas are beginning to burst or may be in full bloom. This is why we love spring!
In the picture, the girls are in front of a Kerria plant. It originates from China and Japan. It is a double-flowered cultivar of a suckering shrub. ‘Pleniflora’ is a very vigorous grower and bears large, fluffy yellow flowers in the spring. Leaves are sharply toothed and bright green. You can grow in a shrub border or in an area where you do not mind proliferation. It has a delicate cane and the flowers last for a few weeks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][mk_image src=”https://britescape.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/spring2015-ellieclara.bmp” image_width=”800″ image_height=”350″ crop=”false” svg=”false” lightbox=”false” frame_style=”simple” target=”_self” desc=”Ellie (8) and Clara (5)” caption_location=”outside-image” align=”center” margin_bottom=”10″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h2″ style=”false” color=”#393836″ size=”26″ font_weight=”inherit” font_style=”inhert” letter_spacing=”0″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”18″ font_family=”none” align=”left”]Your Spring Landscape Checklist[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]
