I just bought some bulbs--hyacinth, tulip and allium--for my coastal zone 22,23 Southern Calif. garden. I remember years ago when I had bulbs from Holland that we had to put them in the fridge for a few weeks before planting. It that a wives tale or just no longer necessary… More
I just placed an order with an online nursery, and as a free gift, they give exotica bulbs and flowering shamrocks. Does anyone know what these are?? I'm a bit nervous about planting free gifts, as they might be invasive. Thanks for any help you can offer. :) More
This is my first time ever planting bulbs so here comes a silly question :0 . After I plant the bulbs, can I mulch over them? Or do I need to leave it bare? Allison More

I am all about planting and caring for the plants until about mid summer and then it gets too hot to go outside until dark and I just want to lay in front of the fan and not move. Most of my plants manage ok without me, but the ones… More
I'm about to plant some bulbs for the first time ever, and I really have no clue what I'm doing. (I'm actually okay with perennials and such, but I haven't started messing around with bulbs/tubers.) One of the things I'm most unclear on is whether bulbs can be planted under… More
I believe it's time to replant my gardenia in a larger pot, but I wasn't sure if doing that in the summer is a bad idea? I know that planting anything in our AZ heat isn't a smart thing to do and can sometimes kill the plant. Do the rules… More
I'm just starting out in gardening and I was thinking about planting some bulbs. Do bulbs bloom the first year? I'm thinking about getting some canna and dahlia. I'm in zone 8b (Florida). I don't really know how bulbs work. I know that I've heard dahlia and canna both can… More
Hi, I'm new at gardening, and can't always figure out which side of a bulb is up when it is not nicely pear shaped. I'm planting alcea bulbs and they look like long stalks (2-3 inces) with roots on both sides. You can see new little white growths on one… More
I put in new bulbs last week - BJs had some nice looking tulips and daffs - Polish Polka! Lovely pink - can't wait to see them bloom. Home Depot had nice bulbs too - large economy sized bags! I did the narcissus thisyear with white and yellow - love… More

It is early June and I'm putting in a new raised perennial bed. Is it too late to plant seeds directly in the ground? If I do will they grow very large or flower this year? I live in Central Texas and high temps are in the 90's. More
I'm so excited. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and they had bags of 25 bulbs (tulips and daffodils) for $5.00 I couldn't resist so I bought a bag of each (even though I was told spring would be the better time for this, I was just to anxious to get… More

So what bulbs will you all be planting this fall? I always plant freesia's. I like the double ruffled ones and the exotic colors. The fragrant scent is so great. I stick the bulbs in all my planters and container pots so I see them everywhere in the spring. More
I read somewhere that in order to make flower bulbs unappealing to rodents and deer you can soak them in a solution, but I can't remember what the solution was. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance. More
Hello, I'm a beginning gardener and I'm new to GardenGuides.com. A couple years ago my wife and I planted some Lilies. The Lilies have been growing and blooming nicely these past two summers.
