Great Tips for Annual Flowers

Yearly flowers, unlike their seasonal loved ones, grow, blossom, and pass away within one growing season. We usually purchase our flowers from our garden center in order to benefit from the full bloom season.

 

Take some time to learn what conditions your chosen plants need to flourish. Try your best to accommodate the plants unique growing requirements. If your climate or soil conditions can't meet those needs, I suggest you find flowers that will succeed under your certain growing conditions. Talk to other garden enthusiasts that might have the ability to provide pointers for your certain plants.

 

Now, you can be lazy when you plant your annuals, or you can prepare your soil appropriately and transplant your plants so they get off to a terrific start. Now I admit there were many years I just dug a hole in the soil, threw in a little Miracle Gro and watered them. This frequently produced healthy plants that I periodically fed and attempted to water every day. Generally annuals require about 1" of water weekly throughout the growing season. See to it you water deeply. There are annuals that are dry spell friendly and will require less watering. This returns to understanding the conditions required for your picked plants.

 

Now that I have more time on my hands my methods have changed. Now I fill my hole with liquid kelp mixed with water. There are other liquid fertilizers on the market, but this has worked well for me. I let the hole drain prior to placing the plant in the hole and backfilling the soil. See to it the soil is packed firmly then include another dosage of your liquid mix to the plant. My outcomes have actually been earlier and more sustainable blossoms utilizing this technique.

I attempt to surround the garden with annuals, blending in perennials for that full blossom garden. I have experimented with positioning about 6 plants in clumps, planting them in rows (yuck), and using contrasting colors (my favorite) in my flowerbeds.
