Wondering which flowers to plant in Spring?

The Central Coast of California is one of the most fertile regions in the United States. You’re missing out if you’re not taking advantage of its great climate by keeping a garden.

Wondering which flowers to plant in spring? Planting annual spring flowers would definitely spruce up the place where you’re planning to maintain a garden. However, spring flowers aren’t the only option. Keeping colorful plants all-year round — even through winter —is the best way to make your garden better. So, you should also start planting flowers that blossom some other time in the yar.

Here’s a list to start you off on your gardening:

Six Flowers To Plant In Spring

Veronica

Also known as the Speedwell, Veronica is a perennial blooming from spring to autumn. They are characterized by long spikes of small petals that come in white, blue, purple, or pink. They grow in clusters, ranging from 1 to 3 feet tall. If you’re a newbie gardener, Veronicas are a great plant to start with since it’s easy to grow.
