The question : “When to plant flowers in Canada” cannot be answered, since Canada is too vast and has too many planting zones and micro climates. This discussion will focus on London, Ontario, a city that indeed loves flowers and plants.

A county seat, the capital of its province, encompassing colleges and a major university, and being the largest city in southwest Ontario makes London an important place. Inside the sprawling urban area, there are protected wetlands and native plant and wildlife areas, as well as formal gardens rich in history. The city is full of parks, large ones with entertainment areas and small ones with room for a few benches and a lot of flowers.

The Victoria Garden is fifteen acres of history and floral beauty, and anyone interested in planting flowers would be wise to visit this treasure. If it grows well in the queen’s garden, it will grow well in yours. There are many native species of attractive plants and wildflowers that should not be overlooked when it comes to deciding which plants will thrive.

The first killing frost of the winter is on average about one week into October, and the last one at the end of the first week in May. That gives London a six month growing season. Starting seeds indoors, rooting cuttings, or buying well started plants from garden centers and nurseries will give you the head start you need for such a short period.

When the ground is soft enough to work and dry enough so the soil does not clump into clods, planting can begin. Some flower seeds need to be planted in warm soil, while sweet peas, for instance, like the cool of early spring. Bulbs set out in fall will come up in the spring before you could set out plants for color. Perennials also, if chosen wisely, will make their own decisions as to when to sprout and bloom; these can be planted at almost any time during the warmer six months.

London is cold and snow bound in the winter, has a short and uncertain spring, a hot and humid summer, and a short but beautiful fall before the bitter cold begins again. Rainfall is more than adequate, with an average of thirty nine inches a year of precipitation, and there are thunderstorms many afternoons in this city at the forks of the Thames River.

The climate of London has extremes of heat and cold; the summers are hot and humid, the winters cold and snowy, the springs and falls short. There is plentiful rainfall and long days when the mornings are sunny and the afternoons full of thunder. The presence of the lakes keeps it from changing too much, and buffers the Arctic influence, but makes it snow more heavily.

Since flowers always make great gifts, you can find them even in the dead of winter at the many florists of London. You can order by occasion: new baby, anniversary, sympathy, get well, cheer up, and congratulations. By holiday: Merry Christmas, Happy Valentine’s, Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary.
