My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

forcing to bloom

19 years ago

I have primula obconica which is annual and usually started late August to be forced into bloom in Dec. I started them late Nov Dec and now have faily decent sized plants. Will they bloom this spring and what does it take to make them bloom?

I also started annual asters which are ready to bloom now. Will they bloom all summer? I just like them and want them to bloom in srping ;)

So my question is actually what tricks plants into blooming at certain times?
