Moles tunneling just under the surface can cause problems with your newly planted bulbs and even though they are carnivores and not interested in the plants, they leave nifty passageways for voles, mice and shrews.

Eucomis (Pineapple Lily)
Eucomis (Pineapple Lily)

This South African native has tropical looking leaves and flower spikes that appear to be miniature "pineapples" at the top of the stem. Useful for bright sunny spots, bloom August to September. Because of their very late bloom, Eucomis are only available for spring delivery, click on photo to see varieties and to order.

Gladiolus

Liking reasonably fertile, well-drained soil, regular watering and weeding, (just like our lily bulbs) “Glads” will bloom during, and just after Lily Season, adding their own special aura to your garden. Full sun is preferred, but light shade or half day sun is OK in warmer areas and these shorter growing varieties do quite well in containers.

Skin Protection for Active Gardeners
Skin Protection for Active Gardeners

These lotions help hands, elbows, arms, legs, feet, and the face retain moisture without irritating fragrance allergens, plus they are dermatologist approved and affordable. FRAGRANCE-FREE, a great gift idea for both men and women.

Trillium
Trillium

Trillium is perfect for areas of light to dappled shade under deciduous trees or tall conifers an on the shady side of a house or fence. Hot sun will burn flowers and Trillium will not flower well in deep shade. Bulbs are perfect for the edge of a woodland path, where their beauty can be enjoyed during a spring stroll. Sorry, Trilliums are NOT available this spring of 2012, please check back next year.
Tropical Bulbs (Zone 9-10 or Indoors)
Tropical Bulbs (Zone 9-10 or Indoors)

These Tropical Bulbs are easy to grow and are suitable for planting outdoors all year if temperatures stay above a light frost (Zones 9-10). In colder climates bring pots indoors in September to continue to grow or allow to go dormant until spring (no water). We've been offering these off and on at the spring flower and garden shows and know you will like them too.
