A lush green lawn is undoubtedly appealing, but it's the addition of vibrant flowers that truly transforms your landscape into a picturesque haven. Flowers infuse color and beauty into your yard, and when paired with artificial grass, they create a stunning and low-maintenance garden. Artificial grass also acts as a barrier to pests, making it an excellent choice for surrounding flower and vegetable beds. Here are some beautiful and hardy flowers that will elevate your landscape, turning it into a serene and colorful retreat.
Perennial Hibiscus
Also known as rose-mallow, this popular garden flower boasts giant blooms in shades of pink, white, or red. The flowers can grow up to a foot across, and the stems can reach heights of 8 feet. Originally bred from wildflowers native to the South and East, perennial hibiscus makes a bold statement in any garden.
Peruvian Lily
These hardy perennial bloomers stand 2 to 3 feet tall and come in a myriad of lovely colors, including purple, white, orange, yellow, and red. The flowers resemble azaleas and make a beautiful addition to indoor bouquets, adding a touch of elegance to any arrangement.
Profusion Zinnias
Zinnias thrive in hot weather and can bloom well into the fall. Profusion zinnias are perfect for creating bright bands of color along paths and borders.
