Flowers to Bring Home in March

March is an exciting month to shop at Hyams — the greenhouse and outdoor displays fill with blooming color! 🌸

From cheerful annuals to rich perennials, this is a wonderful time to plan your floral palette for spring and summer. 

Beautiful blooms to look for:

Cool-season favorites — pansies, snapdragons, and dianthus add instant charm.

Perennials — look for early bloomers like salvia, agastache, and coreopsis that will return year after year.

Planter combinations — mix textures with trailing vines, bright annuals, and leafy greens.

Design idea: Create a porch planter with three heights — tall spiky blooms, medium mounded flowers, and cascading vines — for a dynamic look from every angle.

Gardens grow when we care — and in Charleston’s mild spring, you’ll feel that life stirring under every leaf.

Stop in, meet our team, and let’s grow something beautiful together!

Grow an Early Vegetable Patch

For home gardeners in Charleston, March is prime planning time for a productive vegetable garden. Whether you want fresh greens for salads or hearty crops that transition into summer, now is when gardens start humming. 

Perfect picks for early planting:

Greens — Lettuce, mustard, spinach, collards, and peas thrive in cool spring weather.

Root veggies — Radishes and beets grow quickly and can be planted outdoors.

Onions and leeks — Sets and starts do well this month.

Herbs — Cilantro, parsley, dill, and chives love cool soil.

Pro tips from Hyams:

Choose well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter.

Water consistently — young seedlings don’t like drying out.

Ask our horticulturists which varieties perform best in our coastal conditions.

March in the Lowcountry: What to do in the Garden?

Spring starts here long before the calendar says so!

The Charleston area has a mild climate, and while the official start of spring is around March 20th, many gardeners feel it quietly begin in early March. This month is all about planning, prepping, and planting cool-season crops while the soil warms up. 

What to focus on this month:

Soil preparation – Turn beds, remove winter debris, incorporate compost and slow-release fertilizer.

Plant cool-season veggies — Sow or transplant peas, spinach, radishes, and leafy greens. Charleston’s typical last frost is mid-March, so cool crops have a head start. 

Start warm-season seeds indoors — Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants can be started now so they’re ready to go after frost.

Containers & pots — Refresh your patio planters with vibrant cool-weather annuals.

Hyams tip: Stop by for soil mixes, compost, seedlings, and planting tools — our team is here to help every step of the way!

Prepare, Don’t Rush: Setting the Stage for Spring

February brings a familiar temptation: the first warm afternoon, the sun slanting just right, and suddenly spring feels close enough to touch. But wise gardeners know this is a month for preparation and restraint, not impatience.

Late frosts are still possible in Charleston, yet there is plenty that can—and should—be done. Cool-season vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, peas, carrots, and radishes can be planted now, thriving in the mild days and cool nights. These early crops remind us that spring does not arrive all at once; it unfolds.

This is also the perfect time to start seeds indoors for tomatoes, peppers, and summer flowers. Watching seedlings emerge on a windowsill is one of gardening’s quiet joys—a promise held in miniature.

Beyond planting, February is ideal for garden readiness:

Inspect and repair irrigation systems

Clean, sharpen, and oil tools

Refresh containers and raised beds

Plan garden layouts with intention

What should wait? Tender annuals, warm-season vegetables, and aggressive lawn fertilizing. February rewards patience far more than haste.

The garden is listening this month. Every small act of preparation tells it, We are ready—when you are.
