Although the rainy season has
lingered on, summer
will be here soon, but for now, garden
soil is still wet and cold. This is a
good time to peruse our garden
area and select your bulbs for
summer bloom. Get those bulbs,
rhizomes and corms into the
ground. Plan your
garden bloom for early and late
color.
Many selections for fragrant blooms! Sunny warm days in
May and June will coax great
summer bloomers. Gladiolus, lilies,
cannas, begonias, daylilies,
dahlias, Liatris, and Elephant
Ears can all give that tropical feel
in your summer gardens. If you plant
in succession, you are ensured a steady
show of
blooms. Come in to see how bulbs
can enhance your gardens! We have
knowledgeable staff to help you.
It is time to plan and prepare for
your 2010 summer gardens!
Most
bulbs are perennials, returning
several years in a row. Some
even naturalize, reproducing
and
coming back every year, increasing
in numbers. Visit us
now for a great selection of
bulbs! Many can be bought in
season, already
blooming, to introduce into your
gardens after enjoying the show!
Ask us which are gopher-safe bulbs and how to protect those that are
not!
Tuck flowering bulbs here and there in your gardens, for surprise
beauty along a fence, around trees, along walkways, in pots hidden
in hard places to plant, in the perennial garden that will hide
their withering foliage when they
are done blooming. Plant bulbs in wide
swaths of one type for amazing
impact and color. Or mix them in
among your garden perennials to
fill in the bare spots in summer.
Make your garden simply luscious with
bright Glads, stately Oriental lilies
and so much more. Gardening with bulbs,
corms and rhizomes is
fun and easy! Remember to garden with your
kids!
