In late fall, as our landscapes fade to shades of gold and tan, spring may be the furthest thing from your mind. This is your reminder to shake that feeing and plan for spring – the time for planting spring flowering bulbs is upon us! Bulbs are a unique category of plants that require cold stratification from freezing temperatures to flower appropriately in spring. When planted in late fall, their roots still have some time to develop and become established before winter. At GJLD, we sequence bulb species and cultivars to maximize early spring blooms, from late February, through march and into April. Daffodils are a favorite since their toxicity prevents deer, rabbits and other wildlife from eating them, and they don’t require full sun. Hyacinths and alliums are other tried and true favorites. For our urban dwellers or those prepared to be vigilant with their animal repellent applications, tulips are pure joy machines.
