When can I put flowers in the ground?
Most flowers should be planted after your region’s last frost date. While spring is the most popular season for planting, perennials can thrive when planted in early fall in the North and late fall in the South. One can also sow seeds in the spring four to six weeks before the average last frost date for blooms later in summer.In the very early Spring (end of January to March) you can sow hardy annual seeds. These are seeds that will produce plants that are tolerant of frost – they’ll put on strong deep roots all winter long and produce flowers from June until the first frosts (where I live in Surrey that happens in early November).Flower seed packets rarely list estimated days to maturity, but most annual flowers need about 95 days from seed to flower. The ones that made my list start popping blooms in 60 to 70 days when grown under spring conditions, and they also tolerate light frost.

In spring, the weather is usually mild, and it’s the time of year when nurseries start filling up with color. Fall is another popular planting period.

What are 5 examples of plants that grow from underground stems?
Many common vegetables are actually modified underground stems. Some well-known examples include the potato (a tuber), ginger and turmeric (both rhizomes), onion and garlic (both bulbs), and Colocasia or Arbi (a corm). Edible underground plant parts can be modified stems (corms like taro, rhizomes like ginger, or tubers like potatoes) or a short stem with modified leaves attached (bulbs like garlic).
