Landscaping Muskoka is not about growing big trees and plants. It also includes flowering plants, which bring a pop of colour to the landscaping. You might think that flowering plants require high maintenance. However, when you grow in-season perennial flowering plants, you will get colourful flowers without much effort all year round.
So, which flowering plants should you plant in your garden? Here are our top 4 favourites.
Sedum Spectabilus
Flowering Plants
Of all the Sedum varieties, our favourite is the “spectacle” variety. This flowering plant gives flowers of different colours, from red, pink, white, and bronze to magenta. The flowers are broad, covering a large area. You can plant Sedum Spectabilus at the entrance or gateway to your landscape. You will find butterflies around these flowers gathering pollen and nectar. So, when you enter your landscape, you will be greeted by nature’s favourite pollinators.
New England Asters
Asters bloom longer than their native variety, making them a great addition to your landscape. Ensure to plant them in masses to get a crowded yet symmetrical look. You will find butterflies loving these flowers, too. You can grow these flowers where you want bright white or blue in your landscape. If you can’t find these flowers, you can always ask a landscaping company Muskoka to help you find and plant them in your landscape.
Roses
Who doesn’t love roses in their garden? You can grow roses during fall weather, too. Yes, we know roses are associated with spring and summer bloom. However, roses bloom during fall, too. In fact, with some varieties, you can get flowers up until mid-November. The bloom during fall lasts longer than the summer bloom. It is due to colder temperatures. So, don’t hesitate to grow roses all around the year.
Chrysanthemums
Landscaping Muskoka
If you want showstoppers for your landscape, chrysanthemums should be your choice. Also known as the Belgium mums, these flowering plants grow when others have stopped blooming. It includes harsh winters, too. Chrysanthemums come in different colours, such as yellow, white, purple, red, bronze, and more. You can also find multi-tone chrysanthemums. So, make sure to plant mums in your landscape.
