2. “Earth laughs in flowers”
Landscaping companies can offer a wealth of information when it comes to lawn care
and beautification. Ask any lawn care company, and they’ll tell you that you can never
define a beautiful lawn or a garden without a few flowering plants. Not only do they
offer color but they also transform a dull, tired corner into a blooming beauty.
Flowers are without a doubt the essence of a garden.

3. Here are 5 of the best flowering plants that landscaping companies can supply for your summer
lawn:
They’re the warm and tropical region
flowering perennials and annuals from the
family of Asteraceae. They blossom in sun and
partial shade, from early summer to the first
frost. With medium to tall height they’re most
popular for their blue flowers. The other
varieties are white topped blue flowers and
brilliant shades of violet, pink and white. Their
size and color makes Argentum a good choice
for flowering pots and rock gardens. Since
they’re easy to grow and maintain, you can get
them directly from a nursery or purchase them
in seed form. But some of the varieties of
Ageratum are poisonous, so it’s recommended
to first consult landscaping companies or
proper nurseries before choosing one for your
lawn.

4. 2.Hardy Hibiscus
Landscaping companies know that
Hardy Hibiscus is one of the favorite
flowers of southern gardens. This
species include perennial and annual
plants, together with woody shrubs and
small trees. They love the sun and are
known for their large, showy flowers
with colors varying from white to pink,
red, orange, peach, yellow and purple.
Being a versatile plant it can enhance
the beauty of your garden in many
ways. It can be planted in your lawn,
can be a beautiful balcony garden add-
on and can also be used in both, regular
garden pots or even in hanging pots.

5. 3.Stokes Aster
They’re one of the most compatible flowers
for warm region with drought tolerant
nature. Stokes Asters can be grown from
the start of spring as they bloom from late
spring through summer in range of pale to
perky shades of pink, silvery white, and
electric blue. They’re a perfect flowering
plant for gardens with a backdrop of
evergreen shrubs and native foliage plants.
When starting with Stokes Aster you need
to take care that the soil is a little acidic and
that the plants are watered well. Once they
mature, they become one of the low
maintenance flowering plants.

6. 4. Royal Catchfly
This beautiful lady in red belongs to the
pink family of flowering plants. It’s a
perennial herb that starts from a fleshy
taproot and grows up to 1.6 meters tall.
Popularly known as ‘Catchfly’, it has
sticky glands on its stems that trap small
flies. A personal favorite of
hummingbirds and butterflies, Royal
Catchfly is easy to plant enjoys full sun,
well-drained soil and can be moved from
one place to another in the garden
without much of a problem. It’s well
suited for big lawns, borders and
sidewalks.

7. 5. Woodland Phlox
Another beauty to add to your garden is
Woodland Phlox. This a semi-evergreen
perennial species with hairy leaves,
petals of blue-lavender, light purple,
pink, and white color with a pleasant
fragrance. It enjoys the full sun but
doesn’t mind mild shade and is disease
resistant. It’s a low maintenance plant
but needs an open area where it can
receive plentiful of air. Spring is the
major blooming period for Woodland
Phlox when it reaches a height of almost
30 cm and above.
All these flowering plants are easy to grow, are low maintenance and can be bought
from landscaping companies or nurseries in the form of saplings or seeds. While all
these are good choices, the bouquet is certainly not limited to them. Go ahead and try
some other species and share your experience with us.
