As spring settles in, many gardeners take advantage of the mild, sunny days and use this time to get planting – and move delicate seedlings outdoors. Naturally, however, weather conditions can still be a little unpredictable, and it can be tricky to know how to protect your seedlings from strong sunlight.
While conventional approaches call for a shade cloth, or natural protection using taller plants, there's one trick you might not have considered: artificial flowers. Since they're easy to re-position whenever the weather demands it, faux flowers (like these silk faux flowers from Walmart) can be a quick way to guarantee that your seedlings remain in the soft, dappled light that will help them thrive.
