What blooming flowers would be good to plant now in North Alabama?

Check with your local nursery.

It's not just about what blooms, it's about what will thrive in your specific area. (There's nothing worse than spending $$$ to feed rabbits!) Check out the plant selection tool at High Country Gardens. It will give you just the right flowering plants for your situation. You do not have to purchase from them, but the plants are worth the money and they're guaranteed. I've bought plants from them that my local nursery doesn't carry and I will again.

Any Blooming Flowers in that particular season are what you plant for any Specific area to bloom in that particular season. Question is though: do you only want one season of blooms or 4? Most prefer all 4 seasons thus you need to get a much greater variety than you initially intended.

What gardening zone are you in? Do you want annuals that you have to replant every year or perennials that come back year after year? In order to not waste your money, these are questions that you need to answer. There are so many beautiful flowers to choose from and I think you'll find the answer to your question if you make a visit to your local garden center.
