Remember that the low desert provides gardeners with two distinct growing seasons. Warm season flowers can be planted from approximately February through May, for bloom through the summer. Cool season flowers are planted in the fall and bloom through May, or until temperatures heat up. This Guide provides a range of dates that offer a high probability of success. However, yearly weather conditions can vary considerably and the low desert contains a myriad of microclimates. Use these dates as general guides and adjust them as necessary for your local conditions.

Time to Bloom
Next, the chart provides information on approximate time from planting seed untill the plant will bloom. You can use this to plan for blooms at a certain time of year. On a calendar identify the date you want blooms, back up the number of days listed in the “Time to First Bloom” column and plant seed slightly before to slightly after that date. Plant over a window of time to allow for variation due to weather conditions.
Height
The information on plant height will be useful in designing your garden. When planting a one-sided bed (next to a wall, for example), put taller plants in back. If the flower bed can be seen from two sides, tall growers look best in the center so they don’t conceal smaller plants.

Biennials Flowers
Biennials grow vegetatively in their first year, flower in the second year and typically die after flowering. Because we have two growing seasons here, some biennials complete their entire life cycle in one year.
Perennials Flowers
Perennial plants live more than two years and, once established, bloom each year. Some die back to the ground in their off-season; others retain foliage year around. In the low desert, perennial off-seasons are usually during the intense heat of summer and the colder winter months.

Annual flowers complete their life cycle – vegetative plant, bloom, setting seed, to death of the plant – in one growing season. Most annuals need to be replanted each year, but others easily re-sow themselves. Their seed is scattered by wind, weather and wildlife, to pop up the next season when conditions are favorable. These unexpected visitors are called “volunteers” and can be a delight or a source of frustration, depending on your outlook and how rigidly you follow the garden’s original design! Larkspur, cornflower, poppies, desert marigold, calendula, scarlet flax, gaillardia and Johnnyjump – ups are a few flowers that are easy to grow and readily reseed.

There are many types of beautiful flowers that can be grown in the low desert. Use this chart to plan for year round color and interest in your yard. Select plants that will do well in our climate and meet your individual needs. Plants are listed in alphabetical order by their common name. Some plants with more than one common name are listed under each common name. The common name is followed by a letter designating whether the plant is annual (A), biennial (B), or perennial (P) here in the low desert, and then the botanical name for the plant.

Ton Verzijl has been running his own flower shop in Holland for a quarter of a century. During this time, he has also been traveling the world training florists and shop personnel. Through the years, he has visited hundreds of wholesalers. With each visit, he sees something that could be done better.
Just as a flower shop tries to entice consumers to buy their products, wholesalers should do the same thing with the florists. In his training, Ton therefore deals with the four “Ps” from the marketing mix – product, price, place and promotion.
Incognito
When he wants to show a wholesaler what his business looks like to others, Ton first visits him incognito as an ordinary customer. This way, he can take a leisurely look at the product presentations and how the wholesaler receives his visitors and talks to customers. If I arrive in the afternoon for a training session, I see some people looking a bit flustered. Shoot, you are the trainer, they call out in despair. Verzijl says with a hearty laugh. Making people aware that they can do their work better is the first step to actual improvement.
