Does anyone have any recommendations for the perfect spring flowers for in front of the house?

Plant some morning glory seeds near a fence or trellis. They are easy to grow and will vine and produce beautiful blooms. Gladiolus is a good bulb that you can plant that will come back every year, but it doesn't stay in constant bloom. Are you looking for something that is an annual (will only last one season) or something that will come back year after year. Since you mentioned spring flowers I will stick with annuals: Dahlias Verbena Poppies Marigolds Cosmos If you have a shady area try something like impatiens. Also, browse through these annual flowers and see which kind you like the best: <a href="http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/annuals/list1.html" target="_blank">http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/annuals/list1.  more
