We’re very excited about the hundreds of varieties of bulbs we’re carrying this fall. Below you’ll find a small sample of what’s available. We hope that these pictures will help you to find exactly what you’re looking for. Click on the small pictures to see a larger image.

September is the ideal time to plant Tulips, Daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs. Although bulbs can be planted well into November, getting them in earlier will allow more time for root development before winter.

With few exceptions, bulbs should be planted in rich, well-drained soil. On many bulbs top and bottom are easy to differentiate, the bottom being the bit with roots. However, even bulbs planted upside down will come to bloom in spring, a comforting fact given the odd shape of some bulbs such as Anemones. Planting depth is usually two and a half times the bulb diameter. A one-inch crocus is planted with its bottom at two to three inches deep, while a two-inch tulip is planted five inches deep.

Bone meal may be applied at planting time to encourage strong root growth and a spring application of balanced fertilizer will improve growth and bloom.
