Spring is a time of new beginnings, cool evenings, and warm days as you enjoy watching trees and plants bud and then bloom. One of the best ways to welcome spring is by planting flowers in your garden beds. Perennials are an excellent choice because they come back year after year, unlike annuals that only last for the season. Promier Landscapes recommends several perennials that are ideal for Kingsport, Tennessee.
Dicentra Bleeding Heart
Also referred to as Bleeding Heart, this classic plant blooms in the spring, sprouting unique heart-shaped flowers. Available in colors pink, white, and red, this plant prefers full shade, which is ideal to plant in shaded areas. Their stems are graceful and slightly arched, adding to their uniqueness and beauty. This low-maintenance plant doesn’t require much care, making it an ideal choice for busy homeowners or those that don’t like spending too much time doing yard work. Another benefit of the Bleeding Heart is that deer and rabbits typically aren’t attracted to this plant, so you won’t have to worry about wildlife eating its beautiful blooms, if you prefer to keep wildlife out of your yard.
Columbine
This unique perennial is an eye catcher as its delicate, bell-shaped flowers bloom in colors such as pink, purple, blue, and white. Columbine prefers partial shade to full sun and is also a low-maintenance plant that can self-seed. This means that once you plant Columbine, you won’t have to replant them again next season. Their own seeds will sprout new plants the following spring. This plant isn’t picky in terms of soil health and can tolerate cold temperatures, so you won’t have to worry about planting them too soon or waiting for the temperatures to reach a certain level before planting. Plus, they will last into the cooler fall nights.
Peony
Also referred to as a classic spring flower, the peony produces stunning blooms and a welcoming, sweet fragrance. Peonies are popular and one of the most thought of flowers when it comes to spring blooms. Their luscious blooms may sprout in a variety of colors from pink, red, white, and yellow. Plus, peonies prefer full sun to partial shade and are low maintenance. Peonies can also live for decades, so you’ll have a one-time investment when you plant these flowers. The older the plants become, the more they bloom!
