What are the easiest flowers to grow?

[Laurenn]

Hey

Ok I'm not very good yet at gardening. I make some things die but I dunno why

I joined here coz no one I know likes gardening. And my mom made me do some gardening for her and I thought it would be boring but I found it really really relaxing

So I want to plant some nice flowers but ones that I won't kill easy

I'm near San Francisco and I can buy some good soil if they need it

Thanks
Lauren

We all had to start somewhere Laurenn, and when it comes to gardening we never stop learning, there is always something new to find out.
Can you upload some photos of the garden you have to fill so we can get some idea of where you are working?
One of the easiest flowers I can think of is the nasturtium - but there are lots more. It is important to grow stuff that likes the soil where you are, and one trick is to look in other gardens near you to see what is growing well.
Most gardeners are happy to talk to anyone about their plants, and making friends with gardening neighbours can be a really good idea - they will give more local and practical help than anyone.
I'm quite sure that you'll get plenty of help too from the good folk on this forum

Zinnias! There are so many different varieties in every color you can imagine and they are really easy to grow!

Do you mean you'd like to grow from seed @Laurenn ? Or buy plants for the garden?

Both I think really. But growing from seed would be awesome to see them develop

It's a little late in the year to start growing annuals from seed now and I'm not aware of the climate where you live. Autumn/Fall starts here in Britain in late August/September, is it the same in your area? Seed for annual plants ( those that live and die for one year) would be wasted as the plants will die when colder weather sets in.

Oh my its been some time. Have you become a master at the gardening craft yet?

Nasturtium Baby Orange can be grown in a pot or window box.

There are some good suggestions there, and it has been a while since you posted, but it is seed time of year, so I am going to make a suggestion. Buy cheap ones. Unlike most things expensive plants does not mean better plants, it just means they are harder to grow, so the nurseryman or seedsman has to charge more.

Cosmos, Zinnias and Sunflowers are all super easy from seed.
Sweet peas are easy too!

Here are a few suggestions:

• Marigolds - These flowers are easy to grow and come in a variety of colors. They are also great at repelling pests like mosquitoes and aphids.
• Zinnias - These colorful flowers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can tolerate hot and dry conditions. They also attract pollinators like butterflies and bees.
• Sunflowers - These cheerful flowers can grow quite tall and come in a variety of sizes and colors. They are easy to grow from seeds and require minimal care.
• Petunias - These popular annuals come in a wide range of colors and can bloom throughout the summer. They are relatively low maintenance and can tolerate both sun and partial shade.

When planting your flowers, make sure to choose a location that receives adequate sunlight and has well-draining soil. If the soil in your garden is poor, you can improve it by adding compost or purchasing good-quality soil from a garden center.
Also, make sure to water your plants regularly, but don't overwater them as this can lead to root rot. And don't forget to deadhead (remove) spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming season.
With a little care and attention, you can enjoy a beautiful and thriving garden!

Hi I would say all soil will return to what it was originally so whatever you do with it it will return back to what it was. If you got clay soil then it will always return no matter if you take away a ton of it but it can be improved with organic matter but you will always have a fight on your hands.

So check out your soil when you find out what it is then you will know how to improve it some plants do better in containers where you can easily adjust the soil conditions. If your soil doesn't drain easily it will rot plants in cold wet winters. And some plants just don't do well where you've put them for what ever reason so you have read up about how they like to grow find out about them where they originate from to find out how to grow it properly.
