May Magnolia Blooms

Written By Ashton Lancaster

Prepare for a bold burst of color and texture in the garden this May! Roses are beginning their climb while amaryllis and foxglove stand tall with showy blooms. Delphinium, snapdragons, and kale add layers of cool blues, pinks, and purples, while pomegranate flowers and Indian pinks offer fiery contrast. Look for the glossy blooms of Southern Magnolia and the delicate sprays of Virginia Sweetspire as the garden transitions into early summer.
