Question

When is it appropriate to start planting flower seeds, and what is to cold for them right about now like if it gets to be like 30 degrees for a few days in the process of them being planted

Answer 1

Depends entirely on WHAT KIND of flower you're planting.

Some seeds you can sow now, and they're fine. Some want you to wait until the soil is warm and the danger of frost is past.

If you have a packet of seed - it should tell you on the back the correct time of year to plant for that particular seed.

Answer 2

It really depends on where you are, but as I said with the question about planting in Wisconsin, you really should call up your nearest plant nursery and ask their opinion. 30 degree nights are going to mean frost, not to mention the potential for the ground to freeze (or still be frozen) depending on where you are. Give it a few weeks until the danger of frost passes.

Answer 3

Every plant and flower has its time of season. Most root plants and flowers can be planted in the early spring to early summer and again in October and November. When you plant them in spring they can usually take the cold to a frost but most prefer a slightly warmer temperature. If you like to purchase plants online, try springhillnursery.com, they give you a catagory lising of seasonal and types of plants you wish to have.

Answer 4

It depends what zone you're in. Nothing will sprout if the soil hasn't warmed up enough, or if it hasn't dried out enough. Contact your county co-operative extension. They will have specific answers to your questions that will work in your exact location.
