Well, spring is officially here! We have all turned our clocks forward and it’s a bit brighter outside when we get home. It’s time to start thinking about our front yard again and what to plant.
Terence does a great job every year planting and designing our front flower bed. We have owned several Monroviabushes over the years and they grow just beautifully. One of my favorites is the Monrovia Snowcap Indian Hawthorn.
Here is our front flower bed right now:
The green bushes you see are the MonroviaSnowcap Indian Hawthorn in the winter.
MonroviaSnowcap Indian Hawthorns are compact, mounded shrubs with large, dark green, highly disease-resistant foliage that changes to dramatic, burgundy-red in cold weather.
Clusters of pink buds open to pale pink flowers, fading to white and followed by small bluish-black fruit. So, in the spring they will bloom to look like this:
I picked up another MonroviaSnowcap Indian Hawthorn at my local Nursery last week. I can’t wait to plant it when the weather gets nice outside. These bushes do great in the Texas heat and direct sunlight too!
Monroviahas 3,600 plant varieties that are all nurtured in a customized soil mix that helps develop a strong root system. Mycorrhizae are added to the soil mix–this is a “good fungus”that helps the roots absorb moisture and nutrients from the soil. The sales lady was telling me about this “good fungus” as I checked out with my Monrovia plant and how she loved them herself because they were exceptional plants.
What are you going to plant this spring?
