The timing of introducing short-lived flowering plants to the landscape is crucial for their successful establishment and vibrant display. These plants, completing their life cycle in a single growing season, require careful consideration of environmental factors to maximize bloom potential.
Correct timing yields benefits such as extended flowering periods, robust growth, and resistance to early-season pests and diseases. Historically, farmers’ almanacs and local knowledge were the primary guides, reflecting generations of observing regional climate patterns and their effect on vegetation.
