Suggestions, hints, knowledge about bulb gardens - September 8th, 2005 at 08:46 PM
Hello I am considering putting in a bulb garden. What I need to know is how to keep summer color in the garden. I have done my research and found bulbs that will flower early mid and late spring and some that will flower early summer and a few that will flower mid summer. Notta thing for late summer. I will also want to have additional color in this area as the bulb flowers fade away. Can I just throw wildflower seed over the area after the bubls fade, or should I just throw my wave petunias in this area next year and pray that I dont dig up a bulb while planting them. I think if I do dig up a bulb or 2 while I plant my annuals no big deal just throw it back in where I got it from.
My other thought process is this.......Go ahead plant the bulbs where I want them and in the spring when they pop up mark areas where I can just throw in prennials and leave it at that. I do so love the additional color that annuals add.
What have you all found works best.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
