If you’ve ever marveled at a patch of pretty flowers, there’s a good chance you were gawking at zinnias. The brilliant blossoms are native to Central and South America, and originally became incredibly popular with breeders due to their vibrantly colored flowers, according to American Meadows.

These days, you can get a full spectrum of colors in your yard just by including different variations, many of which include multiple gradients in one bloom, per the Chicago Botanic Garden. You can also select them based on their height, with Zinnia elegans (or the most common planting) growing as tall as 14 inches to dwarf zinnias that are half the height. Keep in mind that those variants with the longer stems make them perfect for vases and a must-have for anyone who likes to decorate their homes with flowers from their own garden.

Zinnias are an annual flower, meaning they won’t grow back from the same roots as previous seasons. However, they’re incredibly efficient at spreading their own seeds—and even getting some in the ground as late as April will all but guarantee flowers by the time summer arrives.

Part of the reason for this is the plant’s incredibly speedy germination time. Zinnias begin germination once soil temperatures reach 60 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Homes & Gardens. If you’re confident your area has its freeze snaps behind it, that tends to set up April as prime time for planting! Once underway, there’s a decent chance you’ll have flowers in eight to 12 weeks.

The best part? Once they’ve grown, these flowers are known as some of the most low-maintenance plants around, thriving in full sunlight with occasional watering, per Homes & Gardens.

RELATED: The #1 Tree Experts Say Is Best for Backyard Privacy Year-Round.

Depending on your region and level of enthusiasm, there are a few ways to go about getting that color into your gardens. If you’re more worried about lingering cold snaps or ensuring proper germination and growth, it’s best to plant zinnia seeds in a biodegradable planter and store them in a warm, bright area, such as on a sunny windowsill, according to Homes & Gardens. To avoid disturbing their roots, you can then just transfer the entire planter into the ground when ready to go.

Otherwise, you can also plant seeds right into the ground. Just dig about a quarter of an inch into the dirt and drop in a few seeds, giving each planting about 10 to 12 inches of space. Then, water and wait for the magic to grow!

Of course, you’re not just limited to zinnias to bring out those blossoms. Flowers like marigolds and dahlias are equally fantastic for April plantings

Known as a hardy and easy flower to grow, marigolds can go into the ground in early spring, according to Gardening Know How. They take just weeks to go from seed to producing brilliant yellow and orange blossoms, all while being naturally pest-resistant!

Dahlias have also earned a reputation among gardeners as a great spring grower. By getting them in the ground now, you should have dazzling blossoms by mid to late summer, according to the National Garden Bureau.

These simple yet effective kitchen saviors have also earned a solid endorsement from customers, earning a 4.8-star average rating. “These are substantial, well-designed splatter screens,” writes one. “The silicone edge helps the screen to grip tightly, and the foldable handles make storing a breeze.

The irony of your sink being a place where many items get clean is that the space directly below it tends to be a chaotic mess. As part of your spring cleaning plan, you can get everything organized with a Trinity Wire Undersink Organizer 2-Pack ($74.99). This easy-to-install solution provides storage space for cleaning supplies, utensils, sponges, trash bags, and everything else you can think of, finally bringing a sense of order to a typically hard-to-manage cabinet space.

This year, you can make your indulgences easier than ever with a Cuisinart FastFreeze Ice Cream and Frozen Treat Maker ($79.99).

The beauty of this gadget is that not only does it make it easy to customize your favorite flavors, but you can also hack recipes to make them healthier, more refreshing, or in line with your dietary constraints.

“I love this ice cream maker,” raves one shopper.
I’ve owned other devices, but I’ve found them tedious. This is easy and takes little storage space. I especially like the size.”

Constructing the perfect cheese and charcuterie board for an event is enough work as it is…But transporting it can be even harder. If you’re planning on bringing your best splay to your next party, this Farberware Build-a-Board 2-Piece Set ($44.99) needs to be on your radar. It includes one serving tray with compartments and one without, both of which can be secured with a clear locking lid.

“Love this set, especially that one has no dividers and the other one does,” one five-star review writes. “Handles are so easy to use, keep things secure, but are so easy to open. I like that I can prep these in advance and have them ready in my fridge for home use or take them to go.”

Even if you’re a moderately capable home chef, you owe it to yourself to have the best knives on hand. This Viking 15-Piece Knife Block Set ($152.99) is the ideal base, including all the blades you’ll need for cooking as well as steak knives for dining.

If you’re relaxing, doesn’t your four-legged companion deserve to feel as comfortable as you do? They can with this Serta Quilted Orthopedic Pet Couch ($39.99). Just like the mattresses they make for humans, this piece of dog furniture is certified canine comfy with four inches of egg-crate foam adding extra support.

Multiple customers in the review section talk about how much their pets love the addition. Another adds that “Serta did a good job designing it for a dog with arthritis,” making it an especially good option for elder pups.

Made with sturdy steel and comfortable wooden armrests, you (and a guest if you spring for a pair) will be able to sway the day away.

Spring serves as a reminder that outdoor gardening is very much a seasonal affair. But just because you live in a colder climate doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have access to fresh herbs all year round!

Setting up a EXO Mini 2-Tier Tabletop Hydroponic Garden ($174.99) makes it easier than ever to pick what you need as you go. With enough space for eight different plants and the food required for six months of growth, all you need to do is plug in and fill with water!

This Hinkler Jigsaw Birthday Card Puzzle ($9.99) turns an annual celebration into a quick game, making it a truly memorable way to say “thinking of you on your special day.”

The temperamental nature of spring weather arguably makes it the hardest time of year to dress appropriately.

Made with water-repelling and windproof material, it’s ideal for getting through those out-of-nowhere temperature drops and storms that seem to roll through this time of year.

No matter how much attention you spend on design and furnishings, no room is ever going to look truly great if it’s cluttered. This Woven Water Hyacinth Decorative Poppy Basket ($55) not only looks fantastic on its own, but provides the perfect place to stash everything from blankets and remotes to magazines and toys.

According to reviews, this piece is also remarkably sturdy, thanks to a reinforcing metal rib inside. Others have opted to use it as an eye-catching planter for a little indoor greenery.

Speaking of cleaning up clutter, there’s arguably nowhere in the house where having a place to quickly stash things away is more necessary than a playroom or a kid’s room. This Owl Wicker Woven Basket ($62) offers an adorably playful option for these spaces, putting those toy piles out of sight once and for all.

We here at Best Life love a cheeky doormat, especially when spring comes around. This Blue Hello Door Mat ($22) certainly fits that description, giving a warm welcome to your guests as soon as they arrive.

Customers praise the sturdy construction, but also love the vibrant color it provides to your home’s main threshold. They add this is especially true when you consider the truly affordable price.

You know how the old rhyme goes: “Mirror, mirror, on the floor, you are such a great place to store!” O.K., so maybe that’s not exactly the case with all mirrors, but it is with the Costway Rotatable Jewelry Cabinet Armoire ($179). When closed, it can help you perfect your outfit—and then immediately provide those missing accessories by opening up to a full jewelry and cosmetics keeper.

Of course, this piece of functional decor is a smash hit among shoppers who’ve given it a 4.9-star average rating on the Home Depot website. “This product is beautiful, and it has a lot of room,” writes one. “[It] holds most of my jewelry, and having the mirror attached is awesome.”

On the hunt for a beautiful planter? Look no further than this Red Lantern Blue and White Porcelain Fishbowl ($120), which is large enough to make space for your most impressive houseplants or porch plantings. Even if you’re not a green thumb, it can be a great vessel for a faux flower arrangement or an imitation tree indoors—especially if you place it on a stand.

“These planters are truly fabulous!” gushes one happy customer. “We have 5 of them around our patio with ferns in them, and they are spectacular. We get many compliments on them,” adding that Home Depot also had the best price for this exact piece compared to other stores that carry it.

If you’re looking for a way to really make a part of your home stand out, it might be time to consider a water feature. But before you start digging or call a plumber, consider installing a Fountain Cellar Muro Elegante Wall Fountain ($173). It works by recycling its water from a hidden reservoir, meaning you can easily install it anywhere without having to connect to any piping.

Besides the visual appeal, shoppers say this fountain also creates a very peaceful background noise. Many purchased them as a pair to really help their patio, balcony, and outdoor walkways shine!

Even in the age of text messages, the analog family kitchen message board is still a prime form of communication. But instead of cluttering up your fridge with magnets and notes, consider grabbing this Kate and Laurel Fabric Memo Pinboard ($96). Whether you’re using it as a functional place to pin up reminders and shopping lists or as a place to decorate with postcards and pictures, it’s one of the best-looking ways we’ve ever seen to organize your items.

Sometimes, the easiest way to brighten up a room is to add a large reflective surface. At 71 inches tall by 34 inches wide, this XRAMFY Antique Gold Full Length Floor Mirror ($191) is not exactly minuscule, but also features an ornate gilded border that helps it pop even more.

The best part? Customers hit the review section to call it out as a nearly identical dupe to a much more expensive designer product.

“This mirror looks exactly like the Anthropologie one,” one writes. “I love telling people that come over [that] it’s from Home Depot to see their reactions!”

The sad truth is that not every room that needs a plant can support one. That’s where a Nearly Natural Green Dracaena Silk Plant ($40) can come in handy. This shockingly realistic faux flora can help fill up those corners and provide a year-round pop of color without ever having to water it!

Just like adding a mirror can be a simple change with big results, so can swapping out your bedding. This Ink + Ivy Rhea Comforter Set ($94) comes with everything you need to transform the look of your sleeping space, featuring an eye-catching yet versatile pattern and neutral color scheme that could work with just about any existing decor.

In the reviews, customers say they love how “it brightens up the room” and how “the material is very soft and cozy.” In fact, they love it so much that the comforter set has earned a 4.8-star average rating.

If your living room, kitchen, or dining room is feeling outdated, it might be time to refresh your lighting. This Uolfin 5-Light Gold Sputnik Chandelier ($148) provides a sleek mid-century modern aesthetic, whether it’s switched on or off.

Customers who’ve purchased it rave about how easy it was to install, while others love how it seems to complement a wide range of architectural styles.

“This light replaced my outdated ceiling fan,” writes one in a five-star review. “It adds so much character to my living room and can go with any style.”

In the spirit of spring cleaning, it’s important to ask yourself: When was the last time you updated your towel supply? Even if it was recently, you should consider picking up some Grant’s Ultraplush Edgeless Microfiber Towels ($4.99). These super soft scrubbers are perfect for everything from wiping down your vehicle after a good wash to picking up messes around the house.

Of course, it’s not like Harbor Freight is the only store where you can get these types of towels. But shoppers maintain that besides their high performance, they’re also “the best value I could find” out there.

“Twelve microfiber towels for five bucks when they’re on sale is a bargain that can’t be beat!” gushes one happy customer.

While you might start with a hammer and a set of screwdrivers, no analog tool set is complete until you get a good ratchet. Fortunately, you can do that with the Icon Standard Ratchet ($39.99), whose spectacular high-design features belie its incredibly affordable price.

“Love it!” gushes one five-star reviewer who has already tested the new product. “Smooth mechanism and great ratchet for daily use.”

If you’ve got a lot of lawn to clear before the spring growing season, you’re going to need the right equipment. This Atlas Backpack Blower Kit ($499.99) runs entirely on battery, making it easy to grab and go in a pinch without having to worry about filling with gasoline. This will leave you more time to get back to planting and pruning!

Those battery-powered tools are truly handy, but your workday can end early if you’re not prepared with enough juice to keep them running. Having a spare Bauer Battery Charger ($34.99) can help ensure your entire arsenal of Bauer tools has the power they need so that you call it quits before they do.

Customers who’ve already purchased the item vouch not only for the quality and value of Harbor Line’s in-house tool line, but also talk up the “great price” and how portable this item is for jobs on the go. The best part? Others also say that it “charges batteries extremely fast.”

The last thing you need when the power goes out is a backup light source that has dead batteries in it. You’ll never run into that issue with a Braun Rechargeable Waterproof Flashlight ($89.99): It provides an impressive 13,000 lumens in a beam that reaches up to 770 feet when switched on, and doesn’t require running to the store every time it runs out of juice.

Depending on the kind of home you’re working with or what your height is, a little extra lift is sometimes the only thing keeping what you need out of reach. This Franklin 3-Step Folding Step Stool ($49.99) can support up to 225 pounds and provides that vertical lift, all while folding back down to a super easy storage size of just 2.83 inches deep.

So far, the product has managed to rack up an impressive 4.9-star average rating on the Harbor Freight website. Customers say it’s “sturdy, portable, lightweight, easy to use,” adding that the extra third step can make it a true lifesaver.

Power tools are great for heavy duty jobs, but what about those moments that require finesse? That’s where a. Doyle Precision Screwdriver/Nut Driver ($11.99) comes in, coming complete with eight different screwdriver bits and six nut drivers to help increase your level of control in tighter spaces.

“This is a great little screwdriver to keep handy for quick tasks on small fasteners,” writes one of the many five-star reviwers. “It’s well featured, and well made of high quality materials. Plus has a lifetime warranty. I am keeping this one in my car.”

Getting those cuts just right doesn’t come from skill alone. With the right tool like this Bauer Circular Saw ($49.99), you’ll buzz right through lumber on any job, all without having to worry about cords restricting your movement. It’s also designed with visibility in mind to ensure accuracy each time.

At first blush, this might not look like the kind of item that could be a game changer. But with a more than respectable 4.9-star rating average, it’s clear that customers this this U.S. General Magnetic Paper Towel Holder ($14.99) is worth having on hand.

Built for easy installation with powerful magnets that will affix to anything from your fridge to your tool chest, customers say that the product is remarkably heavy-duty while still being gentle on surfaces.

“I wasn’t sure if the magnets would be strong enough to hold securely to the toolbox, but they are, and they don’t move around unintentionally,” one shopper writes, adding that they appreciate the wide range of available colors, too. “Kinda one of those fun, non-essential purchases, but still serves a good purpose. The paper towels are in a convenient, easy-to-find & dispense location now.”

With all these new tools, you’re going to need a place to keep everything! This Yukon 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Cabinet ($329.99) is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to keep their hardware at hand, capable of holding up to 1,200 pounds and providing 10,300 cubic inches of storage space.

Of course, handy customers have been able to get even more out of the product. “I added a wood top for additional workspace,” writes one. “I like the soft closing feature on the drawers, and the fact that it adds an additional five long drawers, for longer tools.”

There’s a major moment in every person’s life where they realize that relying on a light switch has become completely outdated. With a Philips Hue Starter Kit ($219.99), you’ll get everything you need to bring your home into the future, including four bulbs and the necessary WiFi bridge.

The best part is that it’s not just about turning your lights on and off (which you can do with voice controls via Alexa or Siri). Setting these up means you’ll be able to create the perfect ambiance, from dim, romantic settings and colorful displays perfect for celebrating. And this is just step one: Once your bridge is set up, you can add on all kinds of different Hue accessories around your home!

Whether you’re looking for an easy way to control your patio lights or want a reliable timer for when you’re out of town, customers love how straightforward the product is to use, both inside and outside. “This product makes WiFi control easy and reliable,” writes one five-star reviewer. “I had previously purchased a competitor’s product, and it was difficult to set up and unreliable. Roku power switches are easy to program and very dependable.”

Looking for outdoor lighting with a little ambiance? This Style Selections Rattan LED Outdoor Decorative Lantern ($47.98) brings illumination and looks that can go anywhere, thanks to its rechargeable battery.

But don’t just take our words for it: Shoppers who’ve already purchased the item call it “beautiful” and say that it “adds great style inside or out,” showing how versatile it is. “The color is awesome and doesn’t fade. My patio looks so chic with this,” gushes one.

Not only is this Charbroil Performance Series 4-Burner Gas Grill ($179) currently on sale for $70 off, but the multiple zones make it easy to pinpoint the temperature for precise cooking.

It also doesn’t hurt that it’s got plenty of space: Hosts will love that it can accommodate up to 25 burgers or 16 chicken tenders at once.

Raised garden beds can be a great way to sneak a little growing space into practically any corner. This Greenes Fence Cedar Raised Planter Box ($120) uses a seamlessly natural look to take it a step further, providing enough space for just over six cubic feet of soil. And since cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, it’s a winning combination off the bat.

The most repeated praises of this simple yet effective product are that it’s “well designed” and has “solid construction” that doesn’t even require screws. Others raved that it’s a “good height” and  “just right for an herb garden.”

Whether you’re planning on hosting a lot more this season or simply don’t want to sacrifice all that precious fridge space to your recreational beverages, it’s a lot easier to expand storage space than you’d think. This Cowsar Indoor Beverage Refrigerator ($199.99) has a 130-can capacity, making it the ideal garage or kitchen add-on for anyone who always wants something chilled to drink on hand.

A five-star reviewer said they were particularly happy with how even the look of the appliance visually updated their kitchen. “I like that the temperature is programmable. The glass front makes it look modern and updated. Great undercounter addition,” they write.

If you’re looking to tackle some of those home projects that aren’t plug and play, you might want to consider this Craftsman 4-Tool Power Tool Combo Kit ($169).

Think of it as an early investment in all those improvements you’re going to make!

If you want to keep that spring cleaning momentum going all year round without barely having to lift a finger, you’re going to need some help—and that doesn’t necessarily mean hiring a housekeeper. This eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S1 Pro ($1,299.99) incorporates cutting-edge technology to accurately map spaces, providing both mopping and vacuuming in one device. And with an autowashing and waste collection feature, it’s practically a set-and-forget solution to some of the most tedious chores out there.

These Northlight Indoor/Outdoor 4th of July Lights ($21.98) are a brilliantly patriotic addition to any event, and can also function as Memorial Day decor for your backyard get-together.

As we roll back into hosting season, it’s still easy to forget the number one issue with get-togethers: There is never enough ice! Stop pretending like your fridge’s cube maker will cut it and pick up a Simzlife Ice Maker Machine ($289.99). This commercial-sized unit can store up to 33 pounds of ice and makes up to 100 pounds of large-sized cubes daily. But despite this impressive output, it’s still reasonably sized and can easily fit in garages or under counters.

“Wish we had gotten this sooner! It can crank out the ice!” writes one shopper.

The warmer months might not seem like the time of year you’ll be preparing as many hot dishes, but that all changes if you’re on hosting duties. This Hamilton Beach 8-Quart Medium Slow Cooker ($62.45) is a classic kitchen essential, capable of preparing and warming those party essentials you’ll be serving up through Labor Day.

That’s especially true of this Luminar Indoor LED Tape Light ($24.99), which can be used to brighten up your cabinet, bookshelves, ledges, and more, all with simple installation.

“Unbelievably easy to install,” writes one happy customer. “Honestly, these lights are awesome. And cost-wise, really good. I can’t praise them enough.”

That’s where Franklin Vacuum Storage Bags ($7.99) can come in handy, helping you both protect your garments from elemental and moth damage while also reducing the amount of space they’ll take up when not in use.

“Actually, I find these sturdier than the big brands, and at a much better price,” writes one five-star reviewer. “Highly recommend these!”

Garages are one of the areas of the house that have a tendency to get disorganized quickly. Fortunately, you can get everything in order with some U.S. General 5-Tier Steel Garage Shelving ($139.99). Capable of holding a combined total of 5,000 pounds, it can also be configured between shelves to make room for taller items.

The product’s 4.8-star average rating also speaks volumes about its performance. “Great shelving unit! Could not be happier,” writes one customer. “Very Solid! Went together quickly and easily.”

Reviews praise the product for its high quality and easy installation, as well as how great it is for homes with pets.

Whether you’re looking for occasional illumination around your property or want a simple way to keep an eye on things, this Bunker Hill Security Motion Detecting Security Light ($24.99) provides a remarkably simple solution. The split heads help to light up a wider area whenever motion is detected within a 180-degree area from up to 70 feet away, making it ideal for driveways, garages, corners, and more.

Whether it’s getting things from up on high around the workshop or reaching something from the top shelf in the kitchen, there’s always use for a sturdy mini-ladder to give yourself that boost. This Franklin 2-Step Stool ($29.99)  fits that bill, while also being affordable.

You’ll thank us the next time you need to keep your phone alive while still juicing your e-reader and tablet for the next day.

“This bag is a perfect replacement for the plastic buckets I had been using, with the added advantage that it collapses nicely for easy storage. I use two of these to carry tools at times, rope and rocks at other times, and have found them sturdy enough to stand up while being loaded,” writes one happy customer. “As far as I can tell, there is nothing negative about this canvas bucket-like bag.”

Not to belabor the point of spring cleaning too much, but there is something to be said for having great equipment on hand at all times to tackle messes around the house. And if there were any true housekeeping essential out there, it’s this Bauer Cordless Hand Vacuum ($39.99).

When it comes to spring flowers, everyone’s mind tends to jump to the daffodils and tulips that are among the first bits of color to push their way up through the ground. But if you didn’t get around to planting those bulbs last autumn, hellebores are your last-minute option to bring some early life to your garden as soon as this year.

Also known as the “Lenten rose,” Helleborus orientalis is a hardy perennial originally native to Eurasia, according to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The species gets its name from its habit of blossoming in early spring, which typically coincides with the Christian observance of the lead-up to Easter.

Even as an import, the Lenten rose is quite adaptable to much of the U.S., suitable for cold climates and performing quite well through Zones 4 and 5. But where this plant really stands out is its ability to perform during the chillier months when most other specimens remain mostly or fully dormant. By late winter and the earliest bits of spring, the plant begins to blossom with impressive flowers, often just before or right around the same time as daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs.

“The cup-shaped blooms come in a wide range of colors, from white to nearly black, and in solid, speckled, and striped patterns,” Janet Loughrey of Garden Design previously told Best Life.

Once they’ve opened, the flowers stay in bloom for a month or more before they dry and are replaced by thick, green foliage. The bonus here is that you can likely expect that color to stick around.

“The foliage remains green year-round except for in colder zones,” Loughrey told Best Life.

In terms of timing, you’re fine to pick up the trowel and start planting hellebores in early spring to take full advantage of those early flowers. Try to pick a spot that receives partial shade (even though places that get full light during the winter when trees shed their leaves are fine, too). Just make sure it’s in a spot that receives direct sunlight for less than half the day during the hot summer months, according to Southern Living.

If you’re bringing multiple plants into your garden, you can also bunch the flowers into groups of up to half a dozen and space each cluster about a foot and a half to two feet apart. Make sure the area has good soil drainage, too!

While they require plenty of water right after being planted, another perk of Helleborus orientalis is that it hardly requires any extra maintenance for the rest of the typical growing season. Of course, this changes during periods of intense heat or drought, so be sure to give them plenty of water when the mercury rises or the weather dries out, per Southern Living.

Of course, hellebores aren’t the only options for spring planting that can get your garden looking lively before the season really kicks off. Flowers like pansies and violas can be planted in the ground by March for colorful flowers, and creeping phlox and bleeding heart can be planted as late as early April, according to Gardenia.net.

You might think that a store with as many beloved products as Trader Joe’s would be full of viral items. But if you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ve probably noticed that the store’s monogrammed totes are far and away the biggest sellers, with a secondary market even emerging for fans to buy their own.

This formula includes four different forms of hyaluronic acid to boost moisture and niacinamide to help reinforce your skin’s natural barrier. The dewy look it gives you might even make it enough to forgo the rest of your makeup routine!

There’s nothing quite like biting into a soft, chewy mochi…Well, maybe if it’s a Salted Caramel Mochi ($4.99).

Creeping thyme is an excellent grass alternative.

The go-to for ground cover might typically be grass, but gardeners know it’s far from the only option. In a recent post to Instagram, @housekeeping_101 points out that creeping thyme (or wild thyme) can be a fantastic replacement.

According to the author, the sprawling plant (whose scientific name is Thymus serpyllum) can not only add a pop of color to your lawn, but also bring a pleasant fragrance as it blooms throughout most of the year.

Besides not having to bust out that lawnmower nearly as often, there are plenty of good reasons to consider swapping in this sprawling herb for grass. According to The Spruce, creeping thyme is perennial in moderate climates and grows low like a ground vine that removes the requirement for mowing.

And that’s not the only reduction in yardwork: The plant can help choke out weeds and is relatively drought-resistant and deer-resistant. It can also be a solution for some turf where grass struggles, including sandy or gravelly soil.

How to plant creeping thyme:

Ready to replace your lawn? Before you get started, it’s important to note that while Thymus serpyllum is incredibly hardy, it thrives in USDA Zones Four through Nine, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. If you’re going for a large area, keep in mind that you’ll also need at least one plant for every square foot of coverage.

As with many spring plantings, you should wait for the last frost date to pass before getting to work. This time before temperatures rise and the sun becomes warmer will give it time to establish itself in your yard.

Make sure you remove any grasses in the area you’re hoping to cover, loosen the soil, add about an inch layer of compost, and place the plants in a shallow hole before watering thoroughly. From then on, you’ll only have to water them every 10 days or so amid normal weather conditions, per The Spruce.

Not ready to get rid of all of your grass just yet? Creeping thyme is also the perfect add-on to rockier areas where other plants struggle, and can be a great way to line your garden paths with pops of color.

A few limitations to keep in mind.

Gardeners love thyme for its ability to take in full sun and survive most conditions. However, it’s important to note that high humidity or poor drainage are two things the plant can’t stand, according to Farmer’s Almanac.

Impatient planters should also beware. While Thymus serpyllum will fill out ground area over time, it may take a season or two for them to really hit their stride and growing potential.

And if you’re the type who needs to “touch grass” regularly during the warmer months, you might also want to take note: While creeping thyme can take the occasional footprint, it won’t last in heavy traffic areas.

If you were paying attention a few months ago, you hopefully caught our advice to plant flowering dogwood in November to allow for some truly stunning spring blossoms. But even if you’ve already had them planted on your property for years, you shouldn’t prune some varieties until spring comes around.

Specifically, red-twig and yellow-twig dogwoods are best left uncut until their dazzling spring flowers have already faded, per HGTV. Ultimately, you can keep them looking their most colorful by ensuring you remove any branches that are more than three years old.

Arguably the most famous of all blossoms, most gardeners strive to give their rosebushes the best chances of bringing forth beautiful flowers. And for those in the know, that includes clipping come springtime.

For most climates, March and early April represent the sweet spot between the last frost and budding that takes place, according to Homes & Gardens. In fact, timing is of the essence, as waiting too long can actually delay the blooms’ arrival by a month or more.

“‘Remove any dead or damaged canes [e.g., dead and woody stems] and open up the center of the plant to improve airflow and sunlight penetration,” Wes Harvell, rosarian and horticulturist with famed nursery Jackson & Perkins, told the publication.

For many, home gardens don’t feel quite full until their hydrangeas have come into full bloom. But if you’re hoping to get the most out of your bushes, you’ll want to grab your shears sooner rather than later and get to work.

Experts point out that March represents what is likely the last time you’ll have to trim back these varieties of the flowering favorites, which bloom on new wood as the weather warms up, per Gardening Know How. In fact, clipping at the right time can increase your blooms twofold, so take care to shape and size your plants before it’s too late. In some cases, this means cutting back old stems to healthy buds.

Just because you’ve managed to get your pruning shears out, sanitized, and ready doesn’t mean you should get too cut crazy. In fact, there are a handful of popular plants that are best left untouched for the rest of the season.

Flowers, trees, and shrubs like forsythia, rhododendrons, magnolia, weigela, columbine, lilac, and more have important functions or undergo significant changes during the spring, according to MarthaStewart.com. In these cases, it’s often best to wait until after flowering to trim them back, but consider researching the specific species and how it behaves in your local climate to determine the best course of action.
