winter
has arrived, although some days
are still warm and sunny, others
windy and cold, but your
garden soil is still nourishing plants,
flowers and bulbs that will
burst into bloom come spring 2012. This is a
good time to peruse our nursery
and select your bareroot and
perennials for 2012 gardens.
Picture what you would like to
fill in those sparse areas, or add
a certain color/form to that
garden corner!
Never too early to start planning
your 2012 spring garden with
annuals, perennials, late blooming
bulbs and trees; this is a great
time to plant, before winter settles in hard and
cold. Plan your garden bloom for
early and late color with bulbs
that bloom at different times;
Spring has delightful blooms of
daffodils, muscari, crocus,
hyacinths, allium, tulips; Sunny
summer days coax great bloomers.
Gladiolus, lilies, cannas,
begonias, daylilies, dahlias,
Liatris, and Elephant Ears can all
give that tropical feel to your
summer gardens. July and August
have amazing fragrant lilies
blooming besides an abundance of
other plants. 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 2011
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!
