Gardens make colorful, fragrant additions to any home. If properly taken care of, they can greatly enhance the appearance and warmth of your yard. Of course, the most lively gardens require the right care, garden supplies, and environment. Bethel Feed & Supply Pet & Garden Center in Clermont County, OH, carries all the resources you need to grow a healthy garden. Below, they share some flowers best suited to the Ohio climate.

Top 5 Flowers to Plant in Ohio

1. Marsh Marigolds

These bright, sunny blooms are commonly spotted within the Midwest from spring to early summer. Although they can survive droughts through dormancy, marsh marigolds are partial to moist areas with well-draining soil. If you are near moist woodlands or a pond, these flowers will require little interference and essentially take care of themselves.

2. Virginia Bluebells

Native to the area and also known as the Virginia cowslip, Virginia bluebells undergo a stunning transformation. Throughout the spring, bright pink buds give way to beautiful blue blooms. They can grow in almost any yard given the right garden supplies and flourish in semi-shaded to full-sun areas.

3. Coneflowers

Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, coneflowers make gardening a breeze. They come in a variety of colors available at your favorite garden supplies store, but the pale purple variety is the most common to Ohio. Bees and butterflies are drawn to their vibrant, droopy petals, while goldfinches and chickadees take a liking to their prominent seed heads.

4. Daylilies

As one of the most resilient blooms you can add to your garden, daylilies will thrive just about anywhere. Each bloom lasts only a day, but the vast number of buds keep these sun-loving perennials flowering for weeks. Their striking colors will add extra life to your garden.

5. Russian Sage

If you need an autumn plant from the garden supplies shop to keep your yard lively after summer, Russian sage is a must. This member of the mint family can grow up to a hearty five feet tall from late summer through early fall. It blends well with tall flowers and shrubs, and as long as it has lots of sun and well-drained soil, Russian sage will flourish in an Ohio garden.
