Now is the Time to Grow Beautiful Flowers
A new online survey, released Wednesday by Harris Interactive on behalf of Lebanon Seaboard Corporation, sheds light on how generational differences impact flower preferences.
According to the survey, Americans 45 and older prefer to grow roses while younger generations (18 to 44 year-olds) favor growing tulips. Additionally, the survey found that Americans ages 35 and older are more likely to grow flowers, than their younger counterparts (18-34 year-olds).

Experts suggest that nurturing plants is not only good for the planet, but good for us too – it improves attitudes towards health and nutrition, aids in children’s performance at school and enhances community spirit,” said Bill Kelso, executive director sales & marketing, Lebanon Seaboard Corporation, consumer products division.
“By following a few easy steps, including using the right fertilizer, all levels of gardeners can grow beautiful flowers, whatever their preference may be.”
