Bring vibrancy, color and beauty to your landscape by adding a flower bed! Flower beds are not only visually appealing but also provide numerous benefits that enhance the overall landscape such as:

  • Transforming your yard into a lively and colorful space
  • Attracting wildlife such as bees, butterflies and birds
  • Promoting a healthy ecosystem
  • Adding life and movement to your landscape
  • Supporting pollination, contributing to the health and growth of surrounding plants and vegetation

The experts at Bare Roots Landscaping will begin the flower bed process by assessing your current landscaping. We aim to learn the soil type, sun exposure level and climate so we can recommend flowers that will thrive in the environment. Once the design is finalized, our team will carry out the design using the chosen plants. The service isn’t done after the flower bed is complete. We will give instructions and advise you on how to take care of the flower bed, ensuring it stays healthy and vibrant in the years to come!

The Best Plants for Midwest Garden Beds

  • Poppy: Poppies are vibrant flowers that come in orange, red, pink and cream. There are many different kinds of poppies to choose from such as Iceland or Oriental poppies. They do not require a lot of care other than sun and watering during hot weather and dry spells.
  • Hosta: Hostas can adapt to different environments. They are large, leafy plants that add beautiful dimension to any flower bed.
  • Daylily: Daylilies are very tolerant of whatever Mother Nature throws at them. Even though each bloom lasts only a day, the plant continues to shoot out blooms for weeks! There are many varieties of daylilies to choose from.
  • Peony: Peonies thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. They shoot out big, beautiful blooms that smell amazing, with glossy-green foliage to bring life to any flower bed.
  • Switchgrass: Switchgrass is a landscaper’s favorite. They are very tolerant plants that offer blue-green foliage in the summer and gold and red tones in the fall. Wildlife can be an issue for some but not for switchgrass! Rabbits, deer and grasshoppers do not eat switchgrass.
  • Coneflower: Are you looking for a flower that attracts bees, butterflies and goldfinches? Then the coneflower is perfect for you! Not only do they attract pollinators but they also come in multiple colors to add beauty to any landscape. If they are placed in a sunny location, they will thrive.
  • Coreopsis: Coreopsis come in yellow, pink or bicolor and have multiple varieties to choose from. They are one of the longest blooming flowers so you can enjoy the blooms for an extended period!
