Begonias require a rich soil; that’s why it’s better to plant them in pots, flower boxes, or flower beds to be sure you’re giving them the best soil you can. Once you’ve got the soil under control, they should flower right up until the fall. Best of all, they blossom in a wide range of vibrant colours.

Gladiolus

They may bloom a bit late, but they’re worth the wait. They make great bouquets that can last up to ten days.

I'm not a very experienced gardener, but I do love to plant flowers (especially perennials). This has really helped give me a better idea of what will work, where to plant and when to expect them to bloom. Fantastic. [less]     [delete]     [flag] [reply]
