Plant Index: N-Q

A Plant Index and Plant Identification Guide showing the best flowers for your Container Garden. Treat yourself to a planter garden and use this flower planting guide as your reference.

Why?

Regular gardening host several hurtles that can sometimes be difficult to jump over.

Container planting your most treasured flowers is a great way to master those hurtles and ease the worry of flower care.

Caring for flowers is drastically easier when you don't have to worry about soil-borne diseases, the difficulty of watering plants, and the flowers unique sun needs. (Containers are portable, ya know!)

With that in mind, are you looking to start or add to some of your deck plants, or even spruce up your patio garden? Use this flower index to help you pick out winners for your container growing adventure!

Enjoy!!!
