Cosmos
1 . Dahlia . Some varieties of this beautiful flower can grow up to six and a half feet tall . However , it ’ s best to stick to a single color and find a type that won ’ t exceed five feet .
2 . Cosmos . This thin and delicate flower is available in beautiful pastels like white and pink . It ’ ll wow your neighbors and attract butterflies and birds to your yard .
4 . Canna . This bulbous plant tends to bloom late in the season . Therefore , it ’ s best to plant it indoors four to six weeks before the last frost . Better yet , you can buy dwarf varieties that fill out quickly .
Horticulturists and landscapers generally recommend limiting yourself to two or three colors and three or four species to maximize their visual impact . n
Canna
3 . Cleome . This beautiful ball-shaped flower is often overlooked at greenhouses and nurseries because it rarely blooms at the start of spring . Give it a chance — you won ’ t regret it .
