MUST-HAVE FLOWERS & PLANTS FOR SPRING
Grace N’ Grit™ Shrub Rose

Not only are they disease-resistant, but they are also self-cleaning, requiring little upkeep. Perfect for creating colorful hedges or adding an accent of vibrant flowers to your garden, these roses provide a stunning and durable solution for any landscape. Their ability to endure and flourish with minimal care makes them an excellent choice for both seasoned and novice gardeners.
Nitty Gritty™
Nitty Gritty™ Roses from Monrovia® are not only beautiful but also incredibly durable and low maintenance. This own-root groundcover rose produces an abundance of stunning blooms while offering excellent disease resistance and a self-cleaning, easy-care habit. The double flowers bring vibrant color throughout the warm season, making it an excellent choice for adding effortless curb appeal to your landscape.
These roses bloom in waves from late spring to autumn, filling your garden with sweet fragrance. Perfect for front border plantings or as accent plants, these roses can be interplanted for a colorful, low-growing groundcover or enjoyed as stand-alone container specimens. Their resilience and beauty make them an ideal choice for gardeners seeking an attractive yet easy-to-care-for addition to their landscape.
Bougainvillea
Create a tropical oasis with fast-growing unique flowering plants and bring home Bougainvillea! You’ll love the vibrant color and dramatic form. Bougainvillea is a tough, woody vine covered in bold foliage and unique blooms.
Did you know the colorful, paper-like flowers aren’t technically flowers? They are called bracts which are modified leaves in shades of purple, orange, and red that house small white and yellow blooms.
Bougainvillea is perfect for containers because it needs plenty of room to spread and grow. Pair with your favorite pottery or hanging basket for a spectacular show of gorgeous spring color. For the best blooms and fullest appearance, display your new treasure in an area that receives full sunlight. Bougainvillea is a hungry plant and requires regular fertilization for rich and full blooms throughout the growing season. Feed your plants as directed with Calloway’s Premium Tropical Plant Food.
Kimberly Queen Fern: The Best Fern We’ve Ever Seen!
The Kimberly Queen Fern is a striking plant celebrated for its vibrant, elegant appearance. Its large, sword-like fronds grow from short, slightly hairy leaf stems, forming a graceful, fern-filled display. As a groundcover, it excels in shaded woodland gardens, thriving in the cool, moist conditions.

With its low-maintenance care and eye-catching form, the Kimberly Queen Fern is a versatile addition to any setting, offering a lush, textured look to gardens, patios, and interiors. Its air-purifying benefits also enhance its value as a houseplant, improving indoor air quality.
This beautiful fern is especially well-suited for Texas spring, thanks to its ability to thrive in the warm, humid conditions of the season. Plant in the spring in sun or shade and as temperatures rise, it flourishes in moderate heat and humidity, making it ideal for Texas gardens, patios, and shaded areas. Its adaptability to various soil types and resilience in both indoor and outdoor environments make it a reliable choice for Texas gardeners.

Windmill Palm
If you’re looking for a fast-growing, eye-catching plant to make a bold statement in your garden, look no further than the Windmill Palm!

Its large, fan-shaped leaves and slender, brown-fibered trunk create a striking focal point in any landscape design.

For optimal growth, plant them in a sunny spot and water them weekly until they are well-established. Be sure the soil has good drainage, as these palms do not enjoy standing water.
