My Flower Child provided some great planting tips for Garden Enthusiast. They provided some useful ideas to getting your garden spring ready. Want to grow a garden? Every type of flower is different, and they need different care.
Planting Tips:
Sunflowers:
Sunflowers need extra sun, so plant them in a place that gets lots of it. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, six inches apart, so they have room to grow. If you don't plant them in the ground, make sure to use a large pot for the roots. The pot should drain well, or the plant can be damaged. They also need plenty of water, so keep the soil moist (but not soaked). For the first month, water it deeply once a week. After that, water it lightly every day.
Daisies:
When you first plant daisy seeds, it's ok to put them in clumps together. However, once they begin to grow you will have to move them about a foot (12 in.) apart so that they have room. Daisies also love light, so they should be in the sunniest place possible. Water regularly.
Roses:
Choose an area that gets at least 4-5 hours of sun a day for your roses. Roses don't like to be near many other plants, so give them a little extra room. Roses also don't like to grow in the same place that another rose bush used to live, so if you need to choose such a spot you should replace the soil.
Dandelions:
Plant dandelions in May or early summer. The seeds shouldn't be in very deep (1/4-1/2 in.), and the seedlings need 8-12 in. apart. While they don't need too much care, dandelions sometimes spread in the garden- so watch and keep them in check.
