Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How do tulips grow?

Answer: Perennial, bulb

Plant tulip bulbs in the fall and come spring you'll have a nice display. Tulips do not do well in soggy soil, though most need a good bit of water.
You can find different varieties that bloom anywhere from March through May.

2. How do amaranthus plants grow?

Answer: Annual (or short-lived perennial)

Amaranthus can grow up to six feet tall and, in the summer and fall, will produce many dark pink blossoms. It is also cultivated as a grain source, especially in Africa and Central America.

3. How do Shasta daisies grow?

Answer: Perennial

Daisies are a hardy perennial, and if they spread any faster I'd recommend they be classified as weeds.

4. How do daffodils grow?

Answer: Bulb

Once the daffodils show their bright faces I know that spring has arrived. They don't need much water, but watch out the leaves and bulbs are poisonous. That is good in that squirrels and rabbits won't eat them.

5. How do mums or chrysanthemums grow?

Answer: Perennial

Mums are one of the most well known fall flowers. They come in almost every color and bloom from August till November.

6. How do gladiolas grow?

Answer: Corm/Tuber

Glads are beautiful flowers, but not for the lazy gardener like myself. They do not like the cold and in all but the warmest climates, the corms need to be dug up in the fall. There are some winter hardy varieties, but there is not near the selection as the non-hardy varieties.

7. How does mint grow?

Answer: Perennial

The mint family is easily recognizable in that their stems are square. Many mints will spread profusely and can choke out less hardy plants. The mint family consists of the well known peppermint and spearmint, and many other culinary herbs such as thyme, rosemary, lavender, and basil.

8. How do impatiens grow (in temperate climates with winter frosts)?

Answer: Annual

Impatiens are a popular plant for the shade. They come in many different colors and are pretty easy to grow.

9. How do hyacinths grow?

Answer: Bulb

Hyacinths are a highly fragrant spring flower.
"If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one and buy hyacinths, for they would feed my soul." -Mohammad

10. How do _________ begonia grow? (the word to be filled in should identify a subgroup of Begonia cultivars actually referenced to by how they grow)

Answer: Tuber(ous)

The tuberous begonia are native to Africa and tropical areas of South America, so they too need to be dug up in the fall.
