There is still time to do some bulb planting! In fact, most flower bulbs have to be planted in the fall, because they need a dormancy period time to become rooted before they can bloom big and boldly in the spring. Planting bulbs is very simple, and the great thing about ordering from the Spring Hill catalog or website is that we ship our plants and bulbs to you at exactly the right planting time for your region and zone.

In the past I’ve always planted flowers together in beds and vegetables in their own plot. As I was reading about companion plantings this spring, I learned that it works best when growing a diversity of plants: a medley of flowers and herbs among some vegetables, and a vegetable or two tucked away in a flower bed. […] When it comes to planting daylilies, I’ve always been of the opinion that “the more, the merrier”. While this is certainly true, I have recently begun to be a bit more discerning in the types of daylilies that I plant. Oh, I still fill my beds to the bursting point with these lovely perennials. But I have found, through lots of trial and error, that certain varieties are better suited for borders while other varieties work better in beds or along the grass lines of my yard. […] WOW Daylilies – Just a few years ago, we used to think any Daylily that was 4 inches across was really big! But today’s modern breeders have created many beautiful varieties that are over 5 1/2 inches across, some as much as 7 inches in diameter! A couple of ‘Spider’ types (the name comes from their longer, thinner petals) even reach an amazing 9 inches or more across! […] Just recently appearing on the Daylily scene, this variety is loaded with great features! It blooms continuously (rather than repeatedly with rest periods between) from early summer through fall; the blooms are 4 inches across, much bigger than any other early yellow with a long period of recurrent bloom; and the flower form is excellent, with broad ruffled petals that spread wide to maximize the color show. […] Daylilies have long been a favorite with gardeners – they are SO easy to grow, dependably producing their bright blooms despite heat, drought, excess rain, poor soil, and downright neglect! All the selections on this site will grow and thrive over a wide range of climates (Zones 4-9) and soils, even clay. […] |
