Flower Gardening–Sourcing Plant Material
Hi,
Today the subject is the sourcing of plant material for flower gardening.
Plants, seeds, bulbs and trees are available for purchase at the grocery store, hardware store, local nursery, and mega-home stores. To get quality plants, you need to think about certain things. If you live in an extremely warm or extremely cold area, if you are selecting trees, shrubs or perennials, you will want to buy plants that are grown within that same temperature range. It really does make a difference to your overall survival. If you live in Indiana, but buy a redbud tree grown in North Carolina, the tree will probably not survive the cold Indiana winters. The USDA Hardiness Zone map divides the United States into zones of plant growth. This will assist you in determining whether a plant will be annual or perennial in your location, and if woody plants will survive the winter.
When shopping for colorful annual flowers, you will want to try to detect whether the grower over-used plant growth regulators. Plant growth regulators allow for growers to ship very short plants that are in full bloom. What that makes them attractive to buyers, some plants never “snap out of it” and will remain stunted for their entire life cycle
One of my activities is the publishing of gardening books. My line of book is “Larry’s Easy Gardening Guides” I will be introducing these books on new website in a few days.
