What flowers grow well in michigan, planted indoors, and grow FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
try planting tulips.
Reply:Marigolds but nothing is really fast. How long do you have? Forget me nots come up pretty quick. Nasturtiums will come up fairly quick also. But if you are starting from seed and expecting flowers in under 4 to 6 weeks I think you are out of luck. If you just need a flower plants to germinate, I would go with forget-me-nots. If you can use bulbs, than I agree with the other answerer...tulips, crocus or paper narcissus.

What flowers grow well in Ga.? I am new to the area?
Your best bet is to go to a local garden center as they are familiar with the climate, the soil conditions and can make knowledgeable suggestions.

you must choose flowers that can take full sun if you live in southern GA. northern GA has a more varied climate. however, sometimes even full sun flowers can%26#039;t taks the southern heat!

I think that Calla Lilies would look beautiful with that color scheme. Like these:

Hydragea%26#039;s are also lovely flowers that would look beautiful...

You could also use some ivory/champagne/white roses. Those always make lovely looking tall centerpieces. Like these:

Reply:One of the most elegant set of arrangements I have ever seen used, involved long, skinny crystal vases brimming with tall white lilies (featured flower) and willowy greenery spilling over the sides. You could tie the tall vases with thin, gauze ribbons highlighting your color scheme blue/brown.
The crystal vases were 18 to 24 inches high and filled space at eye level when guests are standing. Then when they are seated at the tables, guests can see to talk with each other, and table space is conserved.
You can continue the theme at cake tables or champagne/punch tables, and vary the height even more by stacking blocks of wood (or something stable) under the white tablecloths.
Or, you could use chocolate %26amp;/or blue small tablecloths (napkins) to cover blocks of wood on these tables and set your tall vase flowers at varying heights with birdseed bouquets or guest rememberences.
Reply:I%26#039;m going to have to say that the only color of flowers with will match and not look bad are white. I would accent white flowers with some blue ones in the centerpieces (you will probably have to have them dyed to match the tiffany blue). I wanted to use an aqua color in my wedding, but I also wanted pink roses because those were the first flowers my husband bought me when dating. I ended up matching my wedding to my flowers because those were important to me. It%26#039;s up to you, though. I would say white, or VERY subdued, pale colored flowers.
I%26#039;m thinking something larger, but similar to this in the respect that it has the blue accents in it.

Reply:I am actually using the same colors in my wedding but finding real flowers in that color were difficult, so I went with simple white calla lilys and actually dyed white tulips the tiffany blue just to throw some color in there, and then tied ribbon around the stems to get the color theme in as well!

Depending on what style wedding you would like....
Calla Lilies are nice. They have one that is almost brown. That would look nice.
Or a variety of simple while flowers with blue and brown breading or ribbon intertwined with the flowers.....We put beads and crystals in the center of some deep pitted flowers for my wedding. It looked amazing.
Reply:You can never go wrong with Calla Lillies. They are very elegant.
Also, check out either the Style tv website or We tv website. They just had a Tiffany blue them wedding on. I know Style had one on this morning from 2005 but it was chocolate brown and like a pink/mauve.
Reply:Id use a square 8x8 vase with calla lilies and glue a tiffany blue ribbon around vase.
other color combinations that are great are
yellow and brown or black
turqouise and red
pink and orange
fuschia and green
Reply:white lilies would look really elegant and it would go with the blue and brown. they arent short stemmed flowers but there are tall stalks of flowers im sure you can find that might fill in the empty space better

Which flowers will do well in a lot of heat and sun?
I have a deck/patio on my 2nd floor and my plants always dry up and die, even though i water them regularly.
Which flowers will do well in a lot of heat and sun?
Try tropical plants such as canna lily. Petunias can take the heat, verbena, daisy, marigold also. Try putting peat moss around the plants %26quot;feet%26quot; it will keep the water from evaporating quite as fast between waterings. Misting them will help, too.
Reply:Part of it depends on what area of the country you are in. Coreopsis, lambs ear, mexican rose are all good for just about any area. with containers, plan on watering twice per day when it is really hot regardless of what you get IF you are in the south.
Reply:Four O%26#039;Clocks
Lantana
Moss Rose
Reply:Go to your garden center and ask for a product called %26quot;Soil Moist%26quot;
It is a product that looks like large salt granuals but put water on then and each granual will swell. It fells real funky to put your hand in it. Add this to your soil, follow the directoins, and this will help the soil to retain moisture.
It works pretty good.

Reply:geraniums, coreopsis, marigolds, daylilies
Try getting self-watering containers that you water once a week. The water wicks up into the pot from a well below to the roots and keeps flowers evenly watered for up to a week, depending on where you live. There are also special potting soils that trap more moisture. You could also try some taller tropical plants to shade some of your flowers below from the sun and drying wind.

What flowers do well indoors?
I want to put some in my room.
What flowers do well indoors?
When choosing plants for a particular indoor location, you must assess the light and temperature that the plant will be exposed to. Also be aware if it%26#039;s a location subject to draft conditions.
If the plant is a flowering plant it may require certain conditions in order for it to repeat flowering.
I would say that light is probably the most important factor in indoor gardening. Most indoor plants are classified by high, medium and low light conditions.
The following are a list (by no means complete) of plants which are good starters for indoors:
Aspidistra elatior - Cast Iron Plant
Crassula argentea - Jade Plant
Dieffenbachia amoena - Dumb Cane
Ficus elastica - Indian Rubber Tree
Sansevieria trifasciata - Snake Plant
Reply:Ones that the stores sell indoors or say %26quot;Indoor Plants%26quot;
Reply:African Violets, and they are really pretty, and come in several colors.
Reply:Impatience seem to do well indoors! I have two pots that I have wintered for two years now! They are huge !!! I put them on my front porch during the summer and in a south facing window during the winter!
Reply:If you are able to place your plants close to the window so they get some natural lighting, I agree that African Violets should do well for you. If your plant is going to be placed a bit back from the window, perhaps a Spathophilium. It is available in a solid green leaf as well as a varigated variety, so even when it is not flowering, it is still an attractive plant for low light situations.
