Guide to Flower Gardening

Planting Your Flower Garden
You can start your flower garden with live plant or from seeds. In either case, it’s important to prepare the soil, even if you’re planting in an existing flowerbed. Using SoilSyrup is one of the easiest ways to prepare your soil and a flower gardening activity you can do well before the last frost. Before planting any flowers, it’s important to know your regions frosts date. Planting times are calculated from this date.

Planting flowers from seeds can help you get a jump of the growing season in late winter. Try SpeedSprout or MegaGro for starting your seeds for better results and healthier seedlings. Adding AquaRocks to the soil of your flower seedlings will help keep them moist, as the small pots have a tendency to dry out quickly. If you don’t want to start early you can simply plant seeds in the prepared soil. Many varieties are vigorous growing and require very little effort to grow from seed. You can plant several packages in the same area, mixing heights and varieties. This type of flower gardening, sometimes called wildflower style can be very appealing.

If you’re flower gardening with live plants, make sure they are well watered before planting. To help keep them moist, mix some AquaRocks into the soil around the plant. This will help keep the plants well watered during the first few critical weeks. Once they are established they’ll need less water. Using AquaRocks can also help minimize transplant shock. If you’re planting annuals, watering with a mixture of Algoflash and SoilSyrup is recommended. Annuals are hungry, fast growers that will thrive when given plenty of nutrients. If you’re flower gardening in containers, it’s even more important to add AquaRocks to the soil to help maintain moisture levels.
