Frequently asked questions
How many Flowers can I grow with PlotMyGarden?
Our plant database includes 201 Flowers, each with a detailed profile covering sowing windows, spacing, sunlight, watering, companion planting and harvest timing. Use the filters above to narrow by type or sunlight, or search by name.
Which Flowers are easiest for beginners?
Look for the “Beginner friendly” badge on each card — these Flowers tolerate a wider range of conditions and forgive the occasional missed watering. Start with two or three, then expand once you have the rhythm.
When should I plant Flowers?
Timing depends on your climate. Each profile lists ideal sowing and harvest months, and most Flowers mature in around 235 days. Connect your hardiness zone and PlotMyGarden builds a week-by-week sowing calendar tuned to your location.
Do Flowers need full sun?
It varies. Every profile shows the exact sunlight requirement — full sun, partial shade or shade — so you can match each plant to the right spot in your garden. The cards above show this at a glance.
