Libra Garden Kit: 15 Plants
$120.00 $0.00 ( / )

Balance is important to the Libra gardener. While we all know balance is a tough thing to achieve in life and in the landscape, the Libra achieves it. Your spirit flower, Cosmos, bring an upbeat calm wherever they go - they do well scattered among wild grasses, mixed into more manicured landscaping, or popped into planter boxes for some color. There is no more cozy or charming plant than the Cosmos; like the LIbra, they are a friend to all. Your Libra garden is easy and oh so sweet - peppered with the ephemeral beauty of Poppies paired with the sturdy color of the Cosmos. Balance. Beauty.

These are the plants for your Libra garden.

How to Plant

Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water.

Where to Plant

Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, in well draining soil.

When to Plant

Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon. Plant outside after your average last frost in the spring.

When to Expect Blooms

Blooms late spring through fall.

Care Instructions

Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more.
