Thinking about selling your home this spring? Take advantage of our real estate agents' secret weapon: flowers. Flowers instantly make a home look more inviting and attractive, significantly improving your chances of scoring that coveted high offer. Here are a few of the flowering plants that our agents recommend most for clients hoping to increase their home's curb appeal before selling.

• Hydrangeas
  Our team often says that hydrangeas are a seller's best friend. These beautifully lush flowering bushes are some of the most striking plants you can include in a garden. You'll find it hard to stick to just one or two colors when faced with the myriad of different varieties that are available—and as a bonus, they're also easy to grow. Place yours in spots that get plenty of morning sun but are shaded during the afternoon hours, such as the flowerbeds right next to your home. 
  
  
• Rose Shrubs
  Who doesn't love the classic beauty of roses? Rose shrubs are gorgeous, and if you choose low-maintenance varieties like Knock Outs, they're easy to care for too. They come in colors like white, red, pink, and even yellow and orange. Place them in a sunny spot and let them take root. Once you've gotten them established, they'll bloom bright and beautiful in early spring and throughout the summer, coming and going in exciting and dramatic waves of blossoms. 
  
  
• Hostas
  If you prefer leafy greenery to flowers, hostas offer the perfect compromise between the two. These large flowering plants make a definite statement with their showy leaves. They come in colors ranging from standard green to blue, cream, and even red, making them incredibly easy to fit into any garden. They're extremely hardy plants that love shade and don't need much attention. Add them to bare spots around your garden or at the base of trees, and watch them fill in the space with their vibrance. 
  
  
• Azaleas
  Corners or walkways looking a little bare? Adding some flowering azalea shrubs will instantly liven things up. These exotic-looking plants are easy to care for and thrive in Kentucky's warm climate. They're much showier than typical shrubbery and are sure to draw your buyers in. Use them to spruce up large bare areas or divide some parts of your property from the rest. 
  
  
• Peonies
  Peonies are known for their frilly, fluffy petals, but they're much hardier than their delicate appearance would suggest. As long as they get plenty of sun, they'll thrive with minimal input from you. They bloom in late spring, too, so they'll be on full display when your buyers come around. We've seen them used to great effect at many Bowling Green homes for sale, adding a pop of color to your plants and making the whole yard look more inviting. 
  
  
• Flowering Trees
  If you want to go the extra mile with your gardening, you can add a flowering tree or two to your property. Trees need a little more maintenance than most of the options on this list, and they certainly won't be fully mature by spring or summer. For the right buyer, though, even tiny saplings will be a huge selling point. Easy-going species like crepe myrtle or dogwood make a big impact without requiring too much work, while flowering fruit trees like cherry or apple trees entice buyers with the promise of delicious produce right from their own front yard.
