I want Flowers around the base of my trees which flowers would do best
+8
I have a brown thumb and horrible allergies. However I love the look of the flowers around the base of the trees, since they are mostly going to be in the shade, which would be the best to plant there and when is the best time to plant in North Texas?

I recommend impatiens around trees. They grow really well in the shade and bush out over the summer. They come in lots of beautiful colors and grow easily as long as they get water.

depending on how North you are in Texas, you could be Zone 6-8.

Go to https://www.gardenerdirect.com
and you can find and view pictures of plants and flowers that are good for your zone, and a description of their growth and when they bloom
I say to solve both, is to put in silk flowers of your choice and change with the seasons.
What zone are you in?

I have always had good luck with vinca flowers (not the vine). For me, impanients get leggy and begonias seem to rot. I live in New Jersey, so I would suggest you go to your local nursery and talk to them. Maybe ask about local wildflowers?
