Annuals and Perennials

Written by: Paul Knight
Bulbs

Spring blooming bulbs are in stock.  Now is the time to plant iris, tulips, crocus, daffodils and many other spring blooming bulbs.

If you have squirrels and chipmunks in your garden, try planting daffodils, allium and hyacinth bulbs. Squirrels will not eat these.

If you want bulbs but do not have a lot of space in your garden, you can plant bulbs in containers. If your containers are in an exposed area, wrap them up with an insulating material such as bubble wrap or burlap to protect them from harsh weather.

Dig up gladiolus. To do so, remove the tops and let them dry for two weeks. Dust them with Sulfur, then store in dry peat moss or vermiculite at room temperature.

Perennials

Aster, goldenrod and tickseed are in bloom and can be planted now. These hardy perennials are dormant through winter and will return with blooms every summer.

Transplant or divide peonies at this time, if you wish to do so.
