"Bulbs" all season?
"Gwen Morse" wrote in message ... Does anyone here do bulb gardens that bloom all through the spring to the end of summer? I have the standards -- crocus, hyacinths, daffodils, day lilies, but, I'm looking for suggestions of bulbs that bloom later than the lilies and to fill out the time between the daffodils and lilies. Rhizomes and other bulb-like plants can be included. (I think irises are technically rhizomes, not bulbs?) Gwen If you want to include tuberous plants too, consider dwarf dahlias for sun/partial shade areas. They put on a good show from early summer and onward, but require their tubers lifted for storage in the fall as they are not hardy here. They can be propagated easily from seeds, divisions, or cuttings. This website gives an idea as to what is available if you are willing to go the seed route (to start next winter). http://www.dtbrownseeds.co.uk/acatalog/0179dahlia.html Regards. |
