​March is the time to start planning to plant for annual spring flowers for your home or business.  Here in the upstate mid March to mid April is often ideal for planting spring flowers.  Spring flowers can add amazing color to make your place beautiful.  Adding that perfect color can provide just what you need to help make your yard look the best on the block.  If you don't know what to plant check out a few suggestions we have below that are perfect for our area to plant in spring.  If you would like us to plant spring flowers at your house or business let us know today, so we can start planning.  Full warning, this post is rather long with many different options.  Call us today if you want to set up a personal consultation about what annual flowers would be best for your property.
