I’m so confused! How many plants per container?!
This will be the first year I am attempting to grow a container flower garden. I’m confused about knowing how many plants can grow in a pot, especially if I am planting from seed. I consider myself above average at house plant care, I know what they need and how much space, but growing outside in containers has me lost.
If I have a 12x12 in pot and I would like to grow some zinnias and marigolds in the pot together, how would I plant those seeds to ensure that the mature plants have enough space to grow? Or what if I wanted to sprinkle a wild flower seed mix into a pot and see what comes up? Or what if I get bought some salvia and lantana seedlings the nursery and I want to plant them together?
I know those questions are all over the place 😂 But is there a general rule of thumb to follow?
