The flowers are almost in full bloom this time of the year. Did you see the Deck Decoration Concepts page of the blog? I took pictures of the same deck plant decors and most the blooming white buganvillas are in full bloom.
Some of the Yellow Bells are also starting to bloom if you noticed. The flowers just love the sunshine.
You can decorate the exterior of your house with different stones or paint colors but nothing beats the low maintenance flowering plants! You cannot really have them all at once. They need time to grow and adapt to the surroundings. Ask your local gardener which ones are best in the shade and out in the sunshine.
Grass
For example, carabao grass will not grow in the shade.. like most of the local grasses available. I like the carabao grass better than the Bermuda. For one, its cheaper to buy and another is that it will not grow tall. It will crawl and thicken.
Not all planting methodologies are the same. Some plants need good soil and some just grow anywhere.
For those who have the budget to have their grass the perfect way, you need about 6 inches of sand underneath (this will help drain the water) and not cause "Ponding" of water in one spot of the lawn or garden. Then you have the grass in mats (that's the square patches of grass when you buy them form the Plants supplier) and you sprinkle sand on top just enough so that the grass will not be muddy when you water them daily. this will also help retain the soil because it will not be easily washed away.
Happy Easter again to all!
