I'm just starting to plan some landscaping in my front and back yard. I have purchased my plants, palm tree, flowers and bushes from Home Depot. However NOT according to your TV commercials there was'nt anyone to ask any questions. There was a cashier and one other person that could'nt answer one question. I planted a Bottle Palm in the front, shaped the ground into a bordered kidney shape with the Palm in the middle. I would like to plant low flowers around it that can stand our hot Florida summers and weather. |
Susan, I apologize for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! There are a number of flowers that can take your weather and it really comes down to what you like the look of. Here are a few good ones to consider planting around that bed with the bottle palm: Blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella) Gazania Portulaca (Rose moss) Vinca or Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus) Lantana Yellow Bells (Tecoma stans) Plumbago Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon! |
