Can I plant flowers where I had previously planted flowers?

I planted flowers last year and they bloomed early in Feb. It was unseasonably warm here. Then a late frost came and they died. They never came back. They are supposed to be annual flowers, but I am afraid I will not have flowers again next summer. Can I plant more/different flowers in the same place?

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersAnnuals only last on season anyway, so they wouldn't come back. Since the frost caused them to die and not some sort of disease, there is not reason not to re-plant in the same area. If you want your plants to last year after year, plant perennials.
Reply:Of course you can. Mix in some new soil, or compost, turning the soil to break down any clumps, and plant for whatever the location (sun or shade).
Reply:Yes, I do every year!
Reply:No, they may pop up next summer, so wait %26amp; see. :)
Reply:Yes.
Reply:Yes you may plant over expired plants, perennials plants are the ones that come back. Annuals die each year, although they may re-seed.
Reply:You can plant more flowers. Work in some organic compost to make up for depleted nutrients %26amp; to improve drainage. Add mulch to conserve moisture %26amp; to decrease weeding.





If you give you new plants lots of TLC, they'll thrive.


Good luck! Enjoy exploring all the possibilities having this opportunity brings ;)
Reply:Yes, but take up the old ones. If they were annuals, that means they only bloom once in the year. What you want are perennials. Another thing to look at is what are the native flowers to your region, these are ones that will do well. Check with your neighbors and see what they grow or ask your local nursery what is recommended.
Reply:it's obvious that those flowers that bloomked in feb loves winter and don't like summer so i suggest that plant different that likes all weather condition
Reply:Yes, you can replant every year if you wish.





Vegetables have to be moved around and not planted in the same spot from year to year.





Here are some hints to help you in your gardening:





Mix in slow-released (time-released) fertilizer such as Osmocote into the soil. Read the container and make sure you get the all purpose type:

There are other good brands too.





Water well.

If you have it, spread mulch around your flowers to help hold


in moisture, keep weeds from growing, keep your soil in place and healthy. You won't have to water so often:

My husband and I keep our dead dry leaves from Fall in a trash bag and stomp up and down on it or crush them with our hands. The smaller the better. That is all we use for our mulch. You can also buy a hand held leaf vacuum that breaks the leaves down for you. This will help keep your yard clean and pretty.





Starting the second month after you plant your flowers, you can use liquid fertilizer from once per week to 14 days, or even once per month. ONLY if you wish.





Do not fertilize once the temps climb into the 90's.





Don't fertilize after August 15th. Your perennial flowers need to get ready for their winter sleep in order for them to return the next year.





You can keep your annuals going with fertilizer after August 15th if you wish as you will need to replant them the next year (some annuals re-seed themselves, but I don't depend on this).





Watering is very important to the health of your flower gardens. Each morning, stick your fingers down into the soil a couple or three inches deep. If it feels dry, water.





As the flowers fad, cut them off. This will keep the blooms going. This is called deadheading (You will need to stop deadheading after August 15 on your perennials so they can make seed and then go to sleep in the Fall.)





Happy gardening to you.genealogy mormon
