In Full Bloom
This season is bringing us a wide range of flowers that make a statement in bouquets and centerpieces, and adorning arrangements for every occasion. We kick off this list with beautiful Chrysanthemums. The quintessential fall flower. Coming in all shapes and sizes, “mums” are for sure the ones to watch. Pick them in oranges and reds to capture the essence of autumn. Set them in pots and flower vases, and if you are planning them in the soil, cut off buds as they wilt to keep them blooming!
Alongside Chrysanthemums, Dahlias keep on appearing both in gardens and flower shops. They begin blooming mid-summer but continue to appear throughout October and November.
Sunflowers thrive on chilly days. If you happen to have them at hand, a great time to harvest their seeds is when they start to turn brown. You might have to fight off a bird or two though! We absolutely suggest you keep them in mind for your celebrations, especially for Thanksgiving centerpieces for a real showstopper!
Verbenas are tiny and full of color; they will last until that first frost. Ideal for flowerbeds and the borders on your garden!
Pansies on the other hand can withstand winter, as they will bloom until a hard frost. If looking for a colorful flower plant to gift this season, this happy faces are a great choice.
And finally, Roses. An absolute year-round staple, appropriate for every single occasion. Autumn keeps on giving beautiful roses, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to turn from classic red and chose to send yellow, tea and orange tones. However, keep in mind, red is always an option at ProGiftNet.com
What to Plant This Season
This is a great time to plan ahead and visualize our ideal spring garden for next year, as mid- autumn is the time to plant bulbous flowers: Tulips, Hyacinths, Lilies, Crocus (look ‘em up!) and Marimonies to name a few, need their preparation to bloom while spending a little time in the cold, and this is the time to put them bulbs in the soil.
Keeping with the spirit of planning ahead and taking advantage of the cooler weather for gardening, this is the ideal time to think of trees and shrubs, so while the soil is still warm from past summer days, plant them and keep them well watered until the ground freezes so they get a good start before they become dormant during winter.
Fall is also the best time to lay down or seed new turf grass, and always remember to keep it well watered!
Whether it is in the garden, on our holiday tables, or on the doorstep of a loved one on a special occasion, flowers and plants will make this season brighter and warmer even though days grow cooler. Keep all of this information in mind when choosing your next gift, and here at ProGiftNet.com, we´ll make sure they get to their destination worldwide.
