Night Club Hours For Some Flowers Found Beneficial
Purdue University experiments show that artificial night lighting can boost growth for many flowers such as pansies and petunias when used at the correct time. Some flowers like pansies favor early evening lights while others, like late revelers, benefit from lights later. Research aims to determine if costs of night lighting yield enough extra blooms for florists.
