Masses of daisy like flowers put on a spectacular show in late winter and early spring. Flower colors are vibrant red, pink, white, lavender, and true blue. Primrose comes in several species and colors. Some plants are small and mounded with large flowers resting directly on top of the foliage. Others have smaller flowers that encircle the stems several inches above the leaves.
Flowers are available in a wide range of primary and pastel colors.
It is a good time to study and select varieties for this area. When looking and evaluating vegetables a pamphlet at the Extension Office would be helpful. It is called Suggested Vegetable Varieties for the Home Garden. When selecting fruit cultivars a more detailed pamphlet can be purchased. It is called Fruit cultivars for Iowa, and it provides added information about season, use, and disease resistance.
