The climate in your location will dictate the best time for
planting flowers in your area. The season of spring can often be an
up-and-down time of temperatures and precipitation. You may run into
unseasonably warm weather one week, and unseasonably cold weather the
next. It can be difficult to decide just when the right time to plant
will be.
Plant centers and gardeners all do what they can to keep their plants in show condition, so you can get them into your garden at the proper time. After you have several seasons under your belt, you'll be able to better decide when is the correct time and when it may be late. Here is some information that may help you decide what is the best time of season for planting flowers.
Most annual plants won't tolerate frost, and when you take indoor plants outside, they will have a better chance of surviving if the soil is a bit warmer. You can plant the hardier perennials earlier in the spring, especially if your garden center has been growing them outdoors as well.
You don't have to block out one certain day or week to do your planting. Generally, early is better, but you have until the early summer to get your planting done. Everyone always wants to plant as early as they can, to see the color in their yards. But you don't want to start too early, or a late freeze may take out your plants.
Oftentimes, perennials and annuals may be shipped to your local garden center from an area that is experiencing warmer weather than you are, and they may be sold earlier than they should be planted in your area. Forcing a plant in too early leaves it tender, and it may be killed by freezing weather or unexpected frosts. Planting flowers too early can result in dead plants or no blooms.
If you find plants at your local greenhouse that are all the way leafed out, and they are blooming earlier than their normal season, ask the seller there if it's too early to begin planting flowers outside in your area.
If it's too early to safely plant, leave your plants in their temporary containers in a sheltered place, and keep them protected from frost until the weather becomes more consistently warm. Morning sun will help keep your newer plants comfortable, and you can put them in your garage at night so they aren't affected by frost. Be sure to water the new plants so that their soil will remain wet while you wait to plant them.
If you take good care of your new plants, they will be ready to be transplanted as soon as your weather permits. Then you can transplant them, and watch them brighten up your summer garden.
