Bulbs
Was told that when planting bulbs, it is a good idea to plant pansies ( or
something similar) over them so that the ground won't be bare while waiting for the bulbs to shoot. Is this a good idea? Margaret |

Be creative and plant some low growing annual other than pansies.

Margaret Depends: if you overplant bulbs, choose something which will look nice _to you_ when the bulbs are in flower and when the bulbs' leaves are dying off. You don't want pansies burying and starving your crocuses, for example. I wouldn't put anything blue near scilla sibirica, because the wonderful blue of the scilla will spoil the look of any other. Bare soil isn't automatically a bad thing, of course, as long as there's something going on nearby. Whatever you choose, just go for it: if it works, you can do the same next year, and if you don't like it so much, try something else. You can never go _really_ wrong by just enjoying your plants for their own sake, and letting your ideas develop over the years. -- Mike. |
