Success With Spring Bulbs

 

Each spring we enjoy the early spring color that pops up from tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and more. It's an exciting time as it is a hint of the season ahead, warmer weather and the end of the cold, dreary days of winter. Some of you  enjoy strolling through your yards, or the parks, to enjoy the color, the fragrances, and the unusual flowers that come from the magic of fall bulbs.

Now is the time to come  in  and pick-out these bulbs you want to plant in your yard, to get that early spring color you love to see. We have an impressive selection to choose from amongst the tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, allium, miscellaneous bulbs and more. Bulbs are easy to plant, and it gives you a great excuse to spend some time out in the yard this fall. We know if you don't do it, you'll be wishing you had next spring!

To ensure success, plant now and over the next month. Think about planting them in masses so they show up better. We are even offering price breaks on the bulbs to help you accomplish this task. Pick up some of our Dutch bulb food and bone meal to plant with them and grab one of our animal repellents if you're worried about critters. We also have a few bulb tools to help make the planting job easier on you. This year we made sure we're stocked with school colors in tulips if you want to show your support for K-State, KU and other sports teams. Wouldn't it be fun to have a neighborhood competition?!  

Another new addition this year is fall flowering crocus! And for those of you that enjoy seeing the naked lady bulbs in people's yards, we've got them here too, so you can get some of those planted in your own yard as well. In addition, the garlic bulbs and shallots are waiting for you.

Bulbs help add to the year-round color people strive for in their landscapes. Plant something that makes you get outside early spring. Just think, you could even make it a family activity this fall - have a cook out, plant some bulbs and spend a little quality time together!
