Sumner Flowers
Walk into any Sumner florist and you will see a wild variety of plants and flowers in a dizzying array of colours. This can make the job of choosing what is right for your home or garden a difficult one, albeit one that is fun to do. There are some veteran gardeners who look at colourful flowers as being nothing but eye candy, but the fact of the matter is that many of them actually serve a purpose beyond just looking pretty in a pot or a flower bed. Think of it this way, do you really want your garden to look bare until such times as your larger planting projects finally come to life?
At this time of year, it’s natural for the average garden to start looking a little bland, which is why a nice little splash of colour can turn blah into beautiful. Floral bedding is a great idea, and you can use colourful perennials that will bloom into brilliant hues for a couple of year. The beauty of these types of flowers, beyond their aesthetic beauty, is that they are very affordable. It’s no wonder that the demand for these types of plants is so high at all of the Sumner florists.
The larger wholesale nurseries very quickly realised that the need for colour was something that was on every gardeners mind. Let’s face it, you want your home and garden to look beautiful year round, and that can be hard to achieve if you are willing to ignore the cheaper potted alternatives that are out there when the winter months roll around. The nurseries have made it their job to ensure that florists and gardeners have all they need to make their gardens grow. Our growers supply fresh flowers direct to the Christchurch Florist Mi Flowers. Variety is the spice of life, and when it comes to colour and plant selection, this is a great time of year to buy.
What you may not be aware of is that there is a real science behind the creation of these beautiful blooms. If you have ever purchased these types of flowers, you are probably aware that they come in very small pots. Getting the seeds to grow and take root in pots that small is a tricky business, and it’s something that requires a little bit of dabbling by the horticulturists at the nurseries. They will bring in hybrid plants from all over the world to see how well they do here. It is these trials over the years that now allow us to have such a wide variety of colourful plants to choose from.
The big question now is when is the best time to buy your colourful blooms from your local florist. The general rule of thumb says that when the foliage has totally covered the surface area of the soil represents the best time to buy and plant your new flowers. For those of you who still believe that these great plants don’t belong in a great garden, why not stop turning your nose up at them, and instead smell what it is they have to offer?
