flowers are much different from plants meaning they need a lot of sun and nutrients

### monster\_maniac commented on 2025-03-31

a lot of them are semi annual plants like dandelion and lavender

You could always do a wildflower mix. East Tennessee native here, so we have similar temps. You can even try to find a local nursery that has a native mix for your area. I’d do a mix of perennials and bulbs. I love irises, peony, dalias, tulips, daffodils, lavender or whatever their favorite bulbs flowers were, then cast your native mix after those are planted. You should have blooms all growing season long.
