The Flowers of the Month

Posted by Angela England Mar 26, 2008

One of the Plants & Bulbs departments Contributing Writers, Melissa Howard has recently begun writing a series of articles about the flowers of each month. I love historical folklore about herbs and flowers and thought my readers might enjoy seeing her series as well.

Planting the flower that coincides with the birth of a child, special event or wedding anniversary can be the perfect way to begin Creating a Memory Garden.

In order of January through December the plants of the months are:

• January - Carnation
• February - Violet
• March - Daffodil
• April - Daisy
• May - Lily of the Valley
• June - Rose
• July - Larkspur
• August - Gladiolas
• September - Aster
• October - Calendula
• November - Chrysanthemum
• December - Narcissus
