Ken and Lisa Lain here each week to answer your garden questions!

Ah, spring cleaning in the garden! It's a great time to refresh those containers and add some vibrant color. Lenten Roses (Hellebores) are a fantastic choice for early spring blooms. And here are a few more cool-season favorites to brighten up those pots:

  • Pansies and Violas: These cheerful flowers come in a rainbow of colors and can handle cooler temperatures.
  • Ornamental Kale and Cabbage: Their vibrant foliage adds texture and drama to containers.
  • Snapdragons: These tall beauties offer long-lasting blooms and a touch of whimsy.
  • Stock: Add fragrance to the mix with these colorful, sweet-smelling flowers.

    • Remember to refresh the soil in your containers with some fresh potting mix. This will give your plants the nutrients they need to thrive. And if you're looking for animal-resistant options, snapdragons and stock are great choices.

    Happy planting!
