Have you always dreamed of
sipping your coffee on your patio or front porch and just breathing in and
taking in all the beautiful colors in your garden? How about you start living
that dream by growing these 8 summer plants in your Lakeland 55+ community home
garden?
Aster
These perennials are tough
on the inside and beautiful on the outside. When cared for properly, they bloom
way until the fall season. They bloom in pink, lavender, or white colored
flowers.
Coreopsis
From the sunflower family,
this plant blooms a fluffy, golden yellow flower that can instantly brighten
your space. Also called a “Sunray,” this perennial has long stems and does not
need much water to live.
Bluebeard Shrub
From the name itself, this
shrub is an easy-to-grow plant which blooms beautiful blue flowers that can easily
add more color to the garden of your Lakeland 55+ community house.
Sally Holmes Rose
This strong-growing plant
blooms creamy-white roses that grow in huge clusters. This versatile plant
vigorously grows all year, giving you a continuously blooming compact bush all
year long.
Purple Fountain Grass
One of the most popular
ornamental grasses, this plant rewards gardeners with a rose-colored feathery
plumes on top of reddish brown foliage. This looks best next to the bluebeard
shrub or the bright Coreopsis.
Aside from colorful flowers,
you can also maximize the space in the garden of your house in Lakeland 55+
community with vegetables that are easy to grow during the summer, such as:
Cucumbers
This vegetable need a full
sun, the rich soil, pollinating insects, and about an inch of water per week to
grow. If you have the space, you can try the vining variety compared to a bush
variety of cucumber so that you can get even more fruits from it. Just make
sure to support it with a trellis so that it can branch out properly.
Tomatoes
Why not grow your own
tomatoes and leave the canned ones on the market shelves? Tomatoes need about 6
to 8 hours of full sun exposure.
Bush Beans
These shallow rooted plants
are easy to care for and grow from seedlings. Once the soil temperature has
reached a 60 degrees F warmth, you can directly sow them in your garden.
Not everyone has the green
thumb but with these plants, you’ll feel like a professional gardener once you
see them bloom in such magnificent colors this summer.
