April in Acadiana Is the Time to Plant Spring Annuals
April is one of the most beautiful times of year here in Acadiana — the days are longer, the air feels lighter, and everything is bursting back to life. It’s also when our crews hit the ground running, transforming landscapes with fresh, vibrant color that sets the tone for the season ahead.
Our team is hard at work installing warm-season annuals that thrive in Louisiana’s heat and humidity. These flowers aren’t just chosen for looks — they’re hand-selected for performance, color consistency, and their ability to handle our southern climate. You’ll see beds bursting with shades of pink, purple, red, and white from plants like vinca, pentas, angelonia, and sunpatiens — all tough, low-maintenance varieties that keep blooming strong well into fall.
We take pride in the details — from proper soil prep and spacing to balanced fertilization and irrigation checks — so every new planting starts off healthy and has the best chance to flourish. When we’re done, your beds don’t just look refreshed; they look alive, filled with color that complements your home or business and instantly boosts curb appeal.
April is the perfect month to refresh your landscape and set it up for a beautiful summer season. Whether it’s a full flower bed makeover or a quick refresh, Acadiana Landscape Materials is ready to make your property stand out.
