Before planting the flowers, make sure the soil has the right pH level by using a a soil test kit. The correct pH level for the soil should be at 7. If the solid is too acidic, adding lime to the soil will help improve the soil’s pH level. In addition, make sure the soil is free of any existing vegetation and weeds. These things can prevent the flower from growing, especially when the flowers depend only on water and sunlight to help them grow.

As the flowers start growing, add organic fertilizer to them. Compost makes an excellent fertilizer for the flowers. The compost can be anything from dinner scraps to grass clippings. If you are using grass clipping, make sure the grass isn’t treated with chemicals.
