How to Plant Flowers
Site your plant carefully so it receives the amount of daylight most conducive for its growth. Most flowering plants appreciate fertile, well-draining soil in a place where water does not puddle.
To plant a nursery-grown specimen, unpot your plant and tease out any encircling roots, which can girdle your plant and eventually kill it. Dig a hot that’s a little deeper than the root ball and twice as wide. Throw in a shovelful of well-rotted compost or manure and place your plant in the hole. Fill in around it with loose, friable soil that’s mixed with compost. Tamp down carefully and water thoroughly.
When newly planted, most flowers appreciate water every day or so, unless you get rain. Once they are established and growing, you can cut back on the water. One inch of water a week is appropriate for most flowers, either from rain or supplemental watering. When watering with a hose, direct the water to the root zone rather than the leaves to avoid fungal diseases.
Give your plants a boost with regular applications of all-purpose, balanced fertilizer, applying it as the package directions indicate. Ease back on fertilizing by July, when the plant starts preparing itself for the coming winter.
