Spring is a time for growth and new beginnings, and your garden is no exception! As the days lengthen and the warmth returns, it's the perfect time to plant some beautiful companions for your Gopher Plant. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Easter Amaryllis: A classic Easter flower, the Amaryllis adds a touch of elegance and cheer to the spring garden. Its bold blooms come in a variety of colors, and they're sure to brighten up any space. Plus, they're relatively low-maintenance, making them a great choice for busy gardeners.
  • Columbine: These delicate, cup-shaped flowers come in a wide range of colors, including pinks, purples, and yellows. They're perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your garden, and they attract hummingbirds and butterflies with their sweet nectar.
  • Euphorbia: Also known as the 'Spurge,' the Euphorbia is a versatile plant that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some varieties have colorful foliage, while others produce interesting flowers. They're all deer-resistant, making them a great choice for gardens that are prone to browsing animals.
  • Forsythia: A true herald of spring, the Forsythia bursts into bloom with a profusion of bright yellow flowers. It's a low-maintenance shrub that's easy to care for, and it adds a welcome splash of color to the early spring garden.

    • These are just a few ideas to get you started. When choosing companion plants for your Gopher Plant, consider factors like sunlight requirements, watering needs, and mature size. With a little planning, you can create a beautiful and thriving spring garden that you'll enjoy all season long.
