Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, Tractor Supply’s wide variety of flowers can help to add lush beauty and vibrant color to both your indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Understanding Indoor Vs. Outdoor Flowers

• Indoor Flowers: Indoor flowers generally thrive in indirect light or low-light conditions, making them suitable for indoor environments. However, indoor flowers can be more sensitive to temperature fluctuations, so you may want to make sure your plants have consistent temperatures. Additionally, indoor flowers tend to be smaller in size, making them ideal for contained spaces. Due to dry indoor air, these flowers may require more frequent watering. Some of the most common indoor flowers are amaryllis and peace lillies. 

• Outdoor Flowers: For best results, outdoor flowers typically require ample sunlight. Due to fluctuating outdoor weather conditions, these flowers tend to be more hardy in nature. In most cases, outdoor flowers bloom seasonally, so select varieties that align with your desired blooming season. Some common outdoor flower variations include mums, roses and daisies.

Differences Between Annuals and Perennials

• Annual Flowers: Annual flowers complete their life cycle within a single growing season. That said, these flowers typically have longer blooming periods compared to perennials. With a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes, annuals are a great choice for adding seasonal color to gardens, pots and planters. Examples of annual flowers include buttercup flowers and geraniums.  

• Perennial Flowers: living for multiple growing seasons, perennial flowers regrow from their roots each year to provide years of beauty and enjoyment. While they may have shorter blooming periods than annuals, perennials often produce larger, more abundant blooms during their flowering season. Additionally, many perennials require minimal maintenance once established, making them a convenient choice for those seeking long-term beauty with less effort. Examples of perennial flowers include peony plants and daylilies. 

Understanding Sunlight Requirements 

• Full Sun Flowers: Full sun flowers thrive in direct sunlight for most of the day, typically requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. Examples include sunflowers, marigolds and dahlias.

• Partial Sun Flowers: Part sun flowers prefer a balance of sunlight and shade, thriving in 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight with some shade during the hottest part of the day. Flowers such as petunias and hydrangeas fall into this category.

• Partial Shade Flowers: Flowers that prefer partial shade thrive in areas that receive more limited amounts of sunlight. Examples include impatiens and begonias. 

• Full Shade Flowers: Full shade flowers thrive in minimal to no direct sunlight, preferring shaded areas or spots with indirect light. Plants like hostas and ferns are well-suited for full shade conditions.
