How it's used
Focuses specifically on the physical density and healthy growth of plants or vegetation. While it shares a character with 繁榮, which refers to economic or social prosperity, 繁盛 is strictly reserved for biological growth and botanical contexts. It implies a sense of vitality and abundance in nature.
Examples
The flowers in the backyard are blooming so densely.

Common phrases
lush foliage
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a city or a business, as that would require 繁榮. Using 繁盛 for non-biological subjects will sound unnatural to native speakers.
