Things to look out for when selecting Flowering Plants.

  1. Location of where you intend to plant your flowers.  Is it shady, drafty, direct sunlight?
  2. Soil type is important unless your planting in a pot.  Some flowers are suited to moist conditions and others dry.
  3. Flowering time is important also.  Some flowering plants can flower for months, while other wither after a week.
