Having a beautiful flowering garden doesn't have to be limited to just having flowering plants that grow low to the ground. In fact, why not have wonderful garden filled with colors and scents without ground based standard garden areas in your landscap by planting flowering trees.

Flowering trees are the best of many worlds, since they grow tall to provide shade during those hot days of summer. They also provide beautiful colors in their leaves and foilage and some flowing trees even provide additional colors and textures in their bark as well.

Flowering Dogwood trees are a wonderful sight, and can be planted as both tree or smaller shrub form. Cheroke Chief is a particularly beautiful variety that produces amazing red flowers in the spring, and vibrant bronze foilage in autumn.

Saucer Magnolia trees grow at about twenty feet high and wide, so they're you can rely on them for excellent garden shade and they also protect your home from that nasty summer heat. Since they do grow quite large, make sure they have lots of room in the area you've planted them.
