What is the best time in spring to start planting flowers?
It's usually after the last "frost" - Have you tried the Farmer's Almanac. They give advice on planting times for different areas of the country.
Reply:Depends on where you live. Get an almanac and look it up.

Reply:Try and time your plantings after the last freeze in your area. If you are unsure try checking with your county extension agent, they are a good source for local information or they can refer you to some master gardeners in your area to assist you. To plant to early, if you do you might end up being very disappointed.
Reply:This question has a lot of different parts to it.


#1: Look your plant up. You need to know if its an annual (dies at the end of the season) or perennial ( comes back at the beginning of next Spring). What Zone its for ( this will tell you how warm it has to be before you can plant it).





#2: Wait until it stays above freezing in your zone for 3-4 weeks ( for bulbs and perennials ), and make sure the ground isn't frozen as deep as you have to put in the plant (this will kill/damage the roots)





I hope this has helped


If all else fails take it to a nursery or garden center( I stay away from big box garden centers when I have a question)
Reply:after all danger of frost is over. dont be in a rush, things catch up quickly.
Reply:Check for the last freeze date in your area. Plant after that. You can ask about that at your local garden shop.
Reply:if you know what type of flower it is then i suggest searching for it online and you should be able to recieve planting instrutions for your area . just type it in and hit search . in the northern states annuals can usually be planted in may but again the weather here is so unpredictable that there is no set date . play it by ear and try to trust the weatherman.
Reply:depends what zone you are in if you are in zone 4 like the north east you will have to waite till end of april begining of may.
