Your home’s front yard defines your personality and your commitment as a homeowner. When the summer season finally arrives in Michigan, you’ll want to celebrate it with a burst of color in your front yard landscaping. Consider using perennials and annuals in order to transform your front yard into a pleasant view of colors this year.
3 Ways to Add Color to Your Front Yard Landscaping
- Identify the needs of the plants in your yard. You will want to know whether you should invest in plants that need sun or shade in order to thrive. For instance, if you have a sunny yard, consider adding a Hibiscus to your yard. The Lord Baltimore Hibiscus has dinner-plate sized red flowers that bloom consistently from July to September. This “Hardy” Hibiscus likes full sun and as a shrubby bush, can fill a good-sized portion of any flower bed. Best of all, the benefits of the Hibiscus don’t stop at its showy flower. It can also be used to attract butterflies and as a culinary herb.
- Choose flowers that will add depth to your yard. Dahlias, for instance, are a large and colorful annual that will grow to be at least 10 inches tall each year. The best part is, deer will keep away from these plants making them perfect for Michigan yards.
- Add Some Perennials. If you are looking for blooms that keep their color for a shorter amount of time, consider perennials. These colorful plants will bloom again in your garden each year, for several weeks at a time. This allows you to add new, fresh color to your yard all summer long.
