Hyacinth and Daylilie planting Advice - September 24th, 2006 at 01:13 AM
Hello!
The flower Gardner with the blackest thumb in the world needing advice again. Even though my husband makes fun of me and tells everyone my hobby is killing plants, I keep on trying and trying and trying! I will show him!
Anyway...I ordered 24 Giant Hyacinth (mixture) bulbs to plant this month. I was going to plant them in 2 half wooden whiskey barrels (1 1/2 deep, 2 ft wide) that I have, but now I am having 2nd thoughts.
Do you think I should plant them in the barrels or in the ground? I still have a 9 ft long 5 ft wide space in front of my house that I have not done anything with yet. I also ordered 8 Dwarf Re blooming Day lilies (June bug, Rainbow Magic, Pardon Me and Bo-Peep)to plant this month. They were shipped as field grown dormant divisions.
Would the Day lilies and Hyacinths look nice together in the 9x5 flower bed in front of my house? How should I plant them? The Hyacinth in the back and on the side and the Day lilies in the middle? Is the space large enough?
Sorry for the long message!
As always thank you for the wonderful advice
