When is the Best Time to Plant Flowers?
A manager at Chancey's Country Garden in Bristol Township shares when the spring planting should begin.
It's May, which means you're probably rounding up mulch and spring flowers for planting. Debbie Schiefer, manager of Chancey's Country Garden on Bath Road in Bristol Township, said after Mother's Day is the best time to plant petunias, pansies, potato vines, vinca vines, hibiscus and vegetables. "It's a temperature thing," Schiefer said. "The frost does kill them." All of the business' annuals are in a greenhouse to ensure cooler temps overnight do not harm them, she said. For some people, spring plantings have already been done and that may be OK, "as long as you're not going to get a freeze," she said. This blog from The Old Farmer's Almanac offers tips for predicting a frost. In the coming days, Shiefer said she'll begin integrating …
