Spring in Northwest Florida is a gardener’s dream. With a mild climate and plenty of sunshine, it’s the perfect time to revive your landscape. Choosing flowers and shrubs that can handle humidity and occasional temperature shifts is key to success. Azaleas, camellias, and loropetalums are excellent shrub choices, while annuals like petunias, marigolds, and impatiens bring vibrant color to garden beds and borders. With careful selection, your spring garden can be both beautiful and low-maintenance.
The Right Plants
Selecting the right plants means balancing beauty with practicality. Native species and drought-tolerant varieties are ideal, as they require less upkeep and adapt well to local soil and rainfall patterns. Mix perennials with seasonal blooms to create a layered look beyond spring. ScenicScape’s design professionals often recommend planting in clusters for maximum impact while using mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
Soil and Sun
Before planting, prep your garden beds with rich organic matter to give roots a strong start. Most spring flowers and shrubs love full sun, but pay attention to each plant’s specific light needs. Water early in the morning and deeply rather than frequently to encourage strong, resilient growth. For best results, consider adding drip irrigation—a service ScenicScape specializes in—to keep watering efficient and targeted.
