We Grow Flowers that Require Very Little Care

Many flowers such daffodils, grape hyacinths, irises, day lilies, yuccas, flowering trees and shrubs require very little work to grow and care for. In the Ozarks daffodils start blooming in late February, lasting till mid April. We always have some daffodils blooming for Easter. They can be planted in lawns in late summer or fall. They get thicker and more beautiful each year. Wait till mid May before mowing them to allow them to build and store energy for next years blooms. The daffodils pictured above were from bulbs purchased about 40 years ago. They were dug up and replanted about 15 years ago. 

Two varieties of daffodils that are very hardy and prolific are Carleton (pictured at left) and Ice Follies (pictured above.)

Irises bloom in late April and May, They are good for growing on banks that are too steep to mow.

Day lilies bloom in May and June, but one variety, Stella De Oreo day lily, pictured above, blooms from mid May until the first hard freeze in late fall. Yuccas, pictured at right bloom in June. Day lilies and yuccas are also good flowers to grow on banks that are too steep to mow.

Crepe Myrtles are shrubs that bloom in August and September.

Redbuds and Dogwoods Bloom in Early to mid April

Azaleas do best on the north side of buildings.
Dogwoods and redbuds are found growing wild throughout our woods and pastures. Seedlings have been transplanted to our yard.

​We like to grow bedding plants that bloom all summer in pots. They can be kept in our house or the green house in winter.
