When should I start planting spring flowers? Now or wait until fall? I live in WI.?

Should I buy bulbs or buy flowers that are ready to go now and just plant them?

If you want flowers now, buy already bloomed plants and plant them now. You plant bulbs for next sping in the fall, altho those are limited in choice and blooming time.

We always plant in the "Spring"!! I've already got my birth flowers growing, in which I planted them in end of March! They've already gotten a full pot of leaves, and their huge!! I've never planted this kind of flower before usually I go with the Marigolds......But, this time I bought Condolla's, thinking they were Marigolds cuz I was in a hurry, to get home that day!! Once, I got home I was like "Oh my gosh these aren't Marigolds!!" But, they are so cool. There already full and huge green leaved-up, so I'm wondering if the flower's are going to be huge also!! How cool is this.. This is the flower for the beginning of October babies, according to flourists!! It shouldn't matter where you live in America!! Spring is Spring honey, all over!! The animals come out to bring out there yunguns, and so do the young sprouts, everytihng loves the sunshine!! In the Fall they wouldn't have to long to be growing and flourish with!! Because, out here in Arizona anyway, we get cold wheather in October.. And fall usually starts in Sept., October here! So, I wouldn't recommend planting then, hun.. I'd go and buy seeds now. and plant away!! We did, and are very much enjoying them already!! I even took a chance this year and planted some cucumbers as well as another green vegetable they make in the south....Okra? Yep Okra, I tasted it for the first time with my ex-husband who swore I'd love it, being that he was from Texas......And he was right!! I do love it, and their already sprouting too!! Can't wait to see the end result!! Good Luck to you!! Smile!! And Happy Gardening to you!! :}
