Spring is upon us
Spring is upon us. The rain garden looks significantly different than it did in January. Some plants are even beginning to bloom like Celandine Poppy/Wood Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum). This plant will bloom from March to August in Kentucky. It is hardy from zone 4 to zone 9. The plant is great in part to full shade with a great leaf texture.
Another great early bloomer is the Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana). It is a mid-sized tree that has prolific pink blooms early in the spring, even prior to setting its own leaves. It has proven to be a durable tree through Kentucky winters and summers.
