For example, if you are planting it in an area that receives 6 hours or more of sunlight per day, the plant will thrive. It will also do well if you place it in a well-drained soil with a low fertility level. Full sun California poppies do not need additional watering once they start to bloom, so they are an excellent choice for people who live in dry climates.
Another great choice for small flowering trees is the purple flowers of the false phlox. Even though this plant typically blooms during the summer months, it does very well if you place it in a shady area during the winter months as well. Purple flowers look particularly striking in gardens with deep shades of blue or purple. In fact, the purple flowers are one of the most attractive features of dwarf irises and magnolias. These dwarf irises and magnolias are some of the most popular ornamental plants used to accentuate garden landscapes.
One of the most popular and beautiful flowers grown is the crabapple variety of the daisy.

It will grow well if it receives indirect but regular exposure to southern light, but it will do better if you plant it in a south-facing corner of a garden so that the sun’s rays do not directly hit the purple flowers. Because crabapples are among the least busy of all the daisies, they do exceptionally well if you prune them frequently. Many gardeners believe that crabapple varieties are among the hardest of all small flowering crabapple trees.
