#204: Caring for Cool Flowers

Cool Flowers seems so familiar to me that I have to remind myself that it is still a little-known planting concept. Because of this, it is new territory for even seasoned gardeners. In this episode, I review the steps I follow to care for my Cool Flower plantings and some of the common causes of plant loss.

I understand why some order lisianthis plugs, but thays the one thing I don't ever see myself stopping, even when my farm gets larger. I thoroughly enjoy growing them from seed!
