Spring is the Time for Summer Bulbs

Did you know that spring is a great time to plant bulbs such as gladiolus, freesia and begonia?

To get the most out of your summertime flowers, now is the time to plan for them.

A few tips to remember: plant after the last frost date in your area. For the Southern States, that’s between February and April. For more northern climes, it’s as late as June. High-quality bulbs and well-drained, yet moist soil are the two prerequisites for a hardy summer flower garden. For more tips and the best kinds of bulbs to get, visit this garden site.
