We all love when spring springs to life! The flower and shrub selections are endless- with all sizes, textures and colors that vibrate with the season. We invite you to stroll the garden center and see the wide range available. We put a list together of our “20 must haves” that we know you’ll dig this Spring!
Little Henry Sweetspire:
Let’s kick it off with this intriguing native to Louisiana! This pollinator-friendly shrub has lightly scented, pure white flowers that resemble a caterpillar. After flowering in Spring, its green summer foliage will change to oranges and reds to match the fall season.
It enjoys full-sun and a bonus to being a native, prefers moist soils, while tolerating wet conditions.
Cajun Hibiscus:
These locally-grown favorites are packed with Pop and Pizazz, much like us Cajuns! The blooms are stunning, with many being two-toned in color, double blooms, ruffled or even a combination of the three! Large, evergreen leaves match the large, sometimes 5’’ across flowers, all with names we can appreciate like the “Bayou Rose,” “Creole Lady” or “Cest Bon!”
Snow Globe Gardenia:
Despite the word “snow” in its name, this gardenia blooms all spring throughout summer. There is low to no maintenance required for this beautiful landscape or patio star that only reaches about 18-20’’ tall and wide. We all love the gardenia’s fragrance, but this one has a sweet & small daisy-like look to pair with its tiny evergreen leaves. Pro tip: to maximize bloom, trim lightly just after the first blooms have finished.
NonStop Begonias:
Are they begonias or roses?! These are begonias, but they look like sweet roses! This Non-Stop variety is given its name due to its vigorous growth habit, bearing masses of pretty rose-like flowers in a range of colors including red, yellow, white, pink and even an orange/coral tone. It’s a perfect variety for something interesting in partial shade/sun containers!
Shoal Creek Chaste Tree/Vitex:
This noteworthy tree presents a stunning show of 12-inch long, fragrant, blue-violet flowers beginning in summer and lasting through fall. These blooms attract scores of butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds during their mid-August migration. It’s a fast-growing tree, reaching a mature size of 4-15’ in the full sun, is low-maintenance and does not require pruning.
Summer Jewel Pink Salvia:
This “jewel” delivers award-winning blooms from spring through fall. This unstoppable, super-quick hummingbird sage is out to transform your sunny annual bed and best containers into a haven for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. The blush-pink blooms begin in late spring and don't think about quitting until early fall, so get your camera and vases ready.
Clematis:
Every flower gardener should know the pleasure of growing clematis. If you already have one in your garden, you're probably scheming about how to squeeze in another! New to clematis? It’s easy to grow with many varieties of out of this world blooms, and is the most stunning climber we’ve ever known!
Coleus:
Who says flowers can have all the fun with color? These annuals are grown for their foliage, but their foliage is packed with POP! Coleus varieties number in the hundreds and each has a unique color and pattern to leaves that look amazing as a border plant or mixed in container gardens. Try one with lime green coloring planted next to one with magenta, green, and pink in an eye-catching pattern. Coleus is an excellent choice for shade areas, giving a dark area lots of color without the need for flowers!
Double Play Candy Corn Spirea:
Your search for truly colorful landscape plants ends here! The show starts in early spring when the new growth emerges bright candy apple red. As it matures, it turns pineapple yellow, and the new growth continues to emerge bright orange all season. Top it off with dark purple flowers in late spring/early summer, and you've got a display you really have to see to believe.
Cuphea Honeybells:
Massive flower power in a hearty little plant, 'Honeybells' shrugs off high heat and continues in bloom all summer. It requires little in the way of care, just fertilize and water regularly. Best as garden edging and planted in pots and window boxes, since it is a trailing plant!
Also check out the Firecracker/Cigar Plant (Cuphea Ignea) has orange tubular flowers with red overtones and hot pink throats along the branches from early spring to late winter, which are interesting on close inspection. Reaching about 3’ x 3’, hummingbirds are attracted to their color and shape! Another Cuphea not to miss is the Funny Face variety, which has trumpet blooms resembling two eyes and a tongue sticking out!
White Shi Shi Camellia:
The pink shi shi camellias are a staple in landscapes around town. They are small, compact, beautiful evergreen bloomers that pop in the cool season. Now, they are available in white!
This low growing evergreen with the same compact 3-4’ x 3-4’ offers porcelain-white, formal double blooms at a time of year when fewer trees and shrubs are blooming.
Baby Cakes Blackberry:
Spring just got “berry” sweet! The Baby Cakes® is a dwarf, thornless blackberry perfect for patio pots with its compact habit (rounded/ non-vining) and reaching 3-4’ tall.. In summer, large, classic and sweet tasting berries present on the plant in a fireworks-like spray of fruit. It’s even likely that this blackberry will produce twice in one season (summer and fall) when enjoying full sun!
Touch of Gold Holly:
This is a four-season stunner from the Southern Living Collection. Its golden foliage illuminates in your landscape, while providing structure, the dazzling color and visual interest. It loves full sun, and requires NO pruning! Another plus is that it is a dwarf grower, only reaching 2’ tall x 4’ wide. It’s an excellent choice for an area that needs a layer of short plants with color and low maintenance!
Specialty Roses:
Roses in white, red, purple (yes! Check out the Heirloom) and shades of pink are always stunning in a garden or even cut flower arrangement. To take it up a notch, specialty roses like the Judy Garland, Pumpkin Patch, Wild Blue Yonder, Marilyn Monroe, Parade Day and George Burns (to name a few) give a POP and punch of unique color to a rose garden!
SunPatiens:
Continuous color in both sun and shade! These low-growing, bright bloomers are ideal in pots, baskets and landscapes as border plants! They don’t just tolerate full sun and high temperatures; they thrive in it. They’re the ideal plant for worry-free color; sun or shade, rain or shine, spring through fall.
Lime Sizzler Firebush:
A hummingbird attractor, Lime Sizzler™ Firebush features showy cymes of scarlet tubular flowers with orange overtones at the ends of the branches from late spring to mid-fall. It has attractive light green-variegated yellow foliage with hints of peach which emerges coppery-bronze in spring. The pointy leaves are highly ornamental and remain yellow throughout the winter.
Chinese Fringetree:
The strikingly beautiful Chinese Fringetree is clothed in stunning panicles of fragrant white flowers rising above the foliage in late spring. It has forest green foliage throughout the season. The glossy narrow leaves turn yellow in fall.
Peggy Martin Rose:
This rose is a survivor. It’s also known as the “Katrina Rose” because it survived being submerged for 2 weeks after Hurricane Katrina. It’s actually an unnamed rose, but later named after the New Orleans gardener, Peggy Martin, whose home and property was under water after the storm in 2005. This is a remarkable climber that takes over any fence, wall, arbor or trellis, and covers it in pink roses without the threat of thorns.
American Beautyberry:
This is a native shrub with lovely lavender-pink flowers in summer, followed by interesting clusters of bright purple berries from late summer to late fall along the arching branches. It’s best in full sun but tolerates light shade.
Abutilon “Flowering Maple”:
Also nick-named the Chinese Lantern, likely due to their flowers have a papery consistency, this unique topiary is a tropical that is low-maintenance. It provides lots of blooms in the form of pendant bell-shaped flowers and dramatic maple shaped leaves. A happy Abutilon can bloom nearly non-stop from late Spring until the first frost.
