Happy Spring!
Our trial garden was glorious this spring. We've added hundreds of new photos to our website to help you and your family dream and scheme about next spring's garden. Our Fall 2025 Beauty from Bulbs catalog has been printed and is being bound and mailed for your receipt around Memorial Day. We cannot wait for you to see it!
We’ll open our website for Fall 2025 reserve orders the week of May 19th. Until then, if you are curious, you may take a peek at this year's collection. We’ve added 50 amazing new varieties to our collection: you can explore them by clicking on New For 2025! We so look forward to introducing you to them. This is the perfect time, as your garden is dying back, to take note of where you'd like to plant more flower bulbs this coming fall. After visiting our Dutch bulb growers a week+ ago, we've learned that this year's harvest looks to be a really good one. Tulips are still in short supply, but we are doing our best to add to our inventory as it is possible through this summer's harvest.
Spring Garden Tips
It's a good idea to clean up your gardens after they've bloomed. Remove any felled flower petals to keep the area clean and fungus- and virus-free. Please allow the foliage to remain in place with maximum exposure to the sun for prolonged photosynthesis and chlorophyll production. Wait until the foliage browns out to remove it. Please don't let anyone mow down, cut down or reduce the foliage area by braiding it. Now is also a good time to fertilize the areas where are bulbs are planted with a 5-10-5 or 4-10-6 organic granular fertilizer that you may apply like one may broadcast bird seed.
