When is National Plant A Flower Day?
Sunday March 12thjust around the corner, and March 12th is the day to participate in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year, this day is dedicated to the planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Many, young and old, have taken up flower gardening, and National Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.
It's best to know which flowers grow as perennials (those that bloom back every year) in your area and which are designated annuals (those that require planting every year). To find out more, visit this Plant Triage website for Hardiness Zones to learn more.
Seeds can be started inside and planted in a sunny window. Move the plants outside when the weather is nicer. Keep the soil damp but not wet, and follow the seed packet's instructions for proper seed germination of the seedling. Whether you like it or not. For those that can't wait, get out those seed catalogs and start planning your next flower garden.
Are you in a warmer climate? To start turning over new soil, you should take out the trowel and the garden gloves. Sow some new seeds, bulbs, or plants, and watch those blossoms bloom into a stunning blaze for the entire neighborhood.
