EDITOR'S NOTE

Welcome, friends:

Thank you for your enthusiasm for flower gardening and for your interest in this book! Our intent in curating this collection is to provide guidance, inspiration, and entertainment along with timesaving tips, practical advice, and ideas to spark your imagination.

We had a range of folks in mind when developing the content: novice gardeners with germinating curiosity, budding growers who want to add color and variety to their yard or containers, and seasoned horticulturists whose cutting beds are the envy of the neighborhood.

Here you will all find help and solutions for planning and preparing pots and plots; choosing and maintaining plants—natives and non-; and enjoying the endless benefits of flowering plants and shrubs, from spectacular fresh or dried blooms to beneficial pollinators (calling all butterflies and hummingbirds!) to the beauty of birds seeking shelter and sustenance and bees spreading pollen and collecting nectar.

Dozens of plants are named on these pages, and 32 are profiled with specific details, such as their reputation in the plant world, tips on how to start them successfully and care for them to maturity (while thwarting pests and diseases!), and recommended varieties. For many, we also include fascinating facts about them in folklore and/or history.

Some plants in which you have an interest may not be included; in consultation with experienced gardeners, we chose these 32 because they are popular and common to most areas of the United States and/or Canada and have generated a great number of questions by visitors to Almanac.com. You’ll find many more flowering plants, with suggestions on how to use them, in the “Inspiration” section of this book.

Because this is an Old Farmer’s Almanac publication and we love to share our passion for plants and gardening, we have included flower lore, flower gardening quotes, and anecdotal tales from gardeners. We welcome stories about your flowers, too—your beauties, your deadheads, your floricultural unforgettables. Share them—and ask questions about other plants—at Almanac.com or
on our social media.

We believe that with this book, you’ll have a flowering future ahead. Now, let’s head to the garden!

–Janice Stillman

Good scent and sizable soap bar
I bought the 6-pack for everyday use and really like the fresh, clean scents — nothing overpowering. These bars lather nicely and rinse off without leaving a greasy film. Gentle enough to use on my face, body, and hands without irritation. Each 5.3 oz bar lasts a good while — better than many other “gentle” soaps I’ve tried. Packaging arrived neat and intact, perfect for gifting or sharing. Great value for the set and the scent variety keeps shower time pleasant.

Solid Soap Set for Men
This natural men’s bar soap set has quickly become a daily favorite after a few uses. The fresh, clean scents are subtle and not overpowering, giving a nice masculine smell without lingering too strong. Bars lathers easily and feels gentle on the skin, making it great for face, body, and hands with no dryness afterward. The bars are generously sized and seem to last a long time.

Keeps the bees and bugs out of beverages
Great . I have used on several different brands of drinks and they work nice to cover your drink once opened. They don’t prevent the spills but reduce the spill !! And the slide into your shirt or jeans pocket great!
