May is like the Super Bowl of flowering plants. Look around our neighborhood. There are so many shrubs, perennials, bulbs and trees in bloom. This blog is intended to help you identify what is in bloom in Maryland Gardens right now so you can consider these plants for your garden.
Shrubs
-
- Pieris – A member of the Azalea family, the drooping blossoms of Pieris more resemble the Lily Of The Valley. New growth is crimson color adding one more benefit. Oh yeah, and deer do not eat it!

Perennials
