When is National Plant A Flower Day?
Sunday March 12thSpring is just 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. Flower gardening has become a favorite among many, young and old, and National Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.
It's important to know which flowers grow in your area (those that bloom back every year) and which are considered annuals (those that require planting every year). For more information, visit this Plant Triage website for Hardiness Zones to find out more.
Seeds can be planted 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. For those that can't wait, get out the seed catalogs and start planning your next flower garden.
Are you in a warmer climate? To start turning over some new soil, the trowel and the garden gloves are best. Sow some new seeds, bulbs, or plants, or plants, and watch the blossoms bloom into a stunning blaze for the entire neighborhood.
