Can I plant plastic flowers in a garden?
Yes, but don't forget to water them!
Reply:we used to put silk daffodils in a couple of planters by the front door in the spring. then I used to plant real flowers for the summer. and in the winter we would put silk poinsettias in the same planters. worked for us. and it looked pretty!
Reply:Sure. I see people do. I think it's a silly thing to do and it looks very faky, but if you don't care, go ahead and plant it. It brighten your garden, at least.
Reply:Yes, you can put fake flowers in the ground. I have a tiny pet cemetary in a clearing in the woods behind my house. I have fake flowers on the two graves there. They last quite a while, and look good if you choose wisely. However, the sun will fade them after a few months.
Reply:I wouldn't do that--check with your local nursery about low maintenance flowers and shrubs. Because by the time you plant those plastic flowers, depending on where you live, you will have one of two things happen.

You'll either have agitated neighbors knocking at your door with a petition to have homeowners association fine you, or your new plastic glories will blend in nicely with your next door neighbor's pink flamingos.
Reply:You can, but you'd have to make sure you buy REAL looking flowers, I've seen way to many easily spotted fakes out there. But I do have a neighbor who hangs fake wisteria baskets %26amp; they are beautiful!! There is a fine line between nice %26amp; trailer trash! Good luck!
Reply:Well..I guess you can but that's not really planting. I suggest you go to a nursery and ask for flowers that require very little care.
