A Calendar for Indoor and Outdoor Plants: What Blooms and When to Buy It
Every plant has its moment. While we want the living room green all year round, the balcony changes with the seasons. When's the best time to buy geraniums so they don't freeze? And when are orchids at their most beautiful?
We've put together a year-round guide based on what's in the best shape right now and what you're searching for most.
WINTER (December – February)
A quiet time outdoors, but the main season for flowering houseplants.

-
Poinsettia: [December] The absolute queen of Christmas.
