Some of the easiest flowers to grow from seed are Marigolds, Morning Glory, Nasturtium, and Poppies.

This depends on the type of flower, and most seed packets have the days to bloom noted on the back. In general, it can take 80-90 days for flowers to bloom.

Most annual seeds can be planted 6-8 weeks prior to the season's last frost. Doing this will ensure that the flower is ready to bloom outdoors.

You can purchase a compost at the store that's high in organic material. Mix more nutrient-rich soil in with the soil on your property to promote better growth of the flowers.

Probably you are watering the plants too much or too little. Make sure you are counting to 5 Mississippi for medium plants and to 10 for big plants as you water them. Water them from the roots, not on top of the plant.

This is probably due to a lack of sunlight. Try putting your pansies in a well lit area, like on a windowsill that's facing south.

Compacted soil does not have the drainage capacity necessary for successful orange tree growth; oranges need adequate moisture movement across the topsoil as well as within the soil's underground structure. Any water that can become trapped above or below the ground can cause disease within the orange tree.

Too much moisture allows disease to grow and plants to mold. Once your seeds have germinated, water your seedlings only when the soil is beginning to dry out. Watering from the bottom is best, but do not allow them to sit in standing water once they are done taking it in.

Hostas grow well in the shade. They bloom with light purple flowers on long stems.

it depends on the plant. Some, like the silver princess, can take 21 days. Others, like zinnias, can take 4-7 days. So, it really depends on the plant and type.
