How to Purchase Plants in Bloom Wisely

Flowers are the focal point of a garden. Their color and scent are the aspects that attract us to the garden. It is an idea if you are buying the genuine plants, you must be careful.


Follow the following recommendations below when you are up to purchase flowers to your front yard.

  • Don't be fooled by the flowers on display

    Many gardeners get carried away especially by the color and scent of plants. Shops also get prospective buyers by offering certain plants pride of place when they are in flower. You must be careful not to be guided by their display and end up with plants that are really not established enough to bloom.



  • Never allow flowering plants to dry out



    Plants may take longer to establish and will need extra care especially if planted during dry time. Container grown shrubs and trees are best planted immediately after rainfall. Water your plants thoroughly before planting.

  • Purchase only flowers which are container-grown



    Check and see whether they are pot-bound. With larger shrubs, remove them from pots and make certain that roots will not be disturbed on planting.

    Purchasing container-grown plants give you the best chance of keeping most of the flowers alive but remember that plants in containers dry out very fast, in hot dry whether.
    If can, sink the pots into wet soil to reduce the need for watering.

  • Avoid Plants flowering out-of-season



    There are some flowers that start to grow when their needed conditions get fulfilled. But, it maybe an year or half an year. So, it's better not to purchase seasonal flowers.

  • Look for over-priced purchases



    At peak selling time or when a plant has just been introduced, keep your eyes open for over pricing. On the contrary, you may buy those very cheap at a plant sale.

  • Exact color of a plant



    "Pink roses and Red Hibiscus"

    These two flower plants tell how important the color of a plant is. If you want roses, try to get the exact color of the roses. Unlike some artificial transplanting, some plants are worth for their significant color.
