4 Green Plants for Your Spring Garden

Ricci Day, of Stokley’s Garden Express, shares the top plants for adding texture and a pop of fresh green color to your yard.

Green Plant Recommendations from Stokley’s Garden Express

Spring is a time for a lot of plants to wake up. Their leaves start unfurling bright green and flowers start to pop up everywhere. It is a fresh new start to the most popular gardening season. These are some of our top plants for adding a pop of fresh green color to your yard. They can be used in ground as pops of color and texture in landscaping and in planters for color, height and textural interest.

LEMON BALL SEDUM
Lemon Ball Sedum is a vibrant green Ground cover that needs little water and  is sun or shade tolerant. It will spill over the edge of a planter in the most beautiful way.

BOSTON FERNS
Boston ferns are a classic shade-loving plant that brings green to your doorstep in planters or hanging on the porch.

FOXTAIL FERNS
Foxtail Ferns are upright and full of personality. They grow easily in the ground or a planter but they like full sun.

SWEET POTATO VINE
Sweet potato vine is the perfect pop of yellowy green when it trails out of planters or hanging baskets.

“Enjoy the spring but plan for the upcoming heat! Our summers can be brutal, and even our full-sun plants appreciate a break from the relentless afternoon heat. Make sure you buy what works for where you are planting!”
