Planting flowers in early spring is often times very exciting for the florist. It means they get to plant their flower garden with many more flowers in the hopes that they will bloom sooner rather than later. They know that the temperature will not stay high enough for them to keep their flowers alive through the winter. So, they are planting earlier. When they are done, they will be glad to have done it early.

But, the truth is there are some dangers to planting early spring flowers. Flowers should not be planted until they are established and have had a chance to grow and bloom fully. There are many problems that could arise if flowers are not established when you plan on planting them. Here are some of the problems and the solutions to each problem.

Problems with the Plants – Many people believe they can save time and money by planting their flower garden in the spring. This is not true. The longer it takes for the flowers to grow, the more the chances of an unexpected problem in the future. So, when you plant them make sure they are growing completely before planting them.

Late Spring Blues – If your flower plants are not growing fully early in the season, there is a good chance that there may be some problems with them. One of the worst problems you will have is late blight where the leaves will begin to change colors. The stem will begin to die back and the plant may die. This is not a common problem but if it does occur you will need to take immediate action. You do not want to have to replant your entire garden just because one of your flower plants died.

Disease – In early spring you can expect fungus to be spreading. This is usually caused by warm weather and not enough water. Once the soil is warm enough, bacteria are able to grow. The bacteria then release toxins that are harmful to your flower. You should get your flower planted and replanted as soon as possible so that the fungus is killed.

Weeds – It is possible that in early spring you will find a weed growing where you plan to plant your flower garden. You will need to remove this weed right away. You are planting this weed so that next year you will not have to deal with it. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Other Problems – Just like any other plants in the garden, there can be problems such as diseases, pests and bugs. Spring is a very busy time of year. If your flower planting is not going so well, you may want to get someone to look at it. Planting your flower garden in the spring can sometimes be stressful. Take a break and relax if necessary.

Flower Planting in the spring can be quite fun. There are many things to remember and to think about. Make sure you follow all the steps above so that your flower planting in early spring goes very smoothly. Happy planting!

Remember, if you are planting flowers that are hardy, you may want to get them started in pots before you plant them. Pots allow you to move your flower garden to a more suitable location without much stress. You do not want your flower garden to die out because of the weather. It would be a shame. Find out what type of flowers you are interested in planting, and then research about starting your flower garden in pots.

In early spring you want to get your plants established. You should be able to see these plants within 2 days of planting them. If you cannot see them after two days, you should move them to a darker place. Some plants, such as tulips, need their roots to be slightly damp to keep them growing. Other plants, such as morning glories, need their soil to be extremely dry.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is to start their flower garden before they have properly planted the seedlings. This means that they will have to spend more time watering the plants. The other major mistake is to buy seedlings that have already been started. They can sometimes be very difficult to start. You want to start your flower garden by buying them as new from a reputable nursery.

Flower gardens are a great way to add color to your home. Planting a flower garden gives you the option to plant whatever you want. You can mix and match flowers to create your own unique scent. It also makes it easy to do flower care. You just have to remember to water your flowers properly.
