Sure-Hits for Your Next Landscape
By Jeff Gibson, Ball Seed Landscape Business Manager
Choosing plants in the spring is an exciting time for landscape designers. Finding the right varieties that will perform well and through the summer is key to a successful landscape. When it’s time to pick plants that are true performers, be sure to include those that provide long-lasting colour and ease of maintenance. Here’s a list of sure-hits to give that landscape show-stopping staying power throughout the season.
Unique Spreading Habit with Hula Begonias
If you’re looking for a plant that is fast to fill in landscape beds, check out Hula Spreading Begonia. It truly creates a blanket of high-impact colour. With its unique trailing habit, it’s perfect for hanging baskets and mixed containers providing landscapers a performance advantage with masses of flowers showing on top. The latest variety in the series features a mix of impressive red and white blooms.
