Tulips are also photonastic which means that the blooms close up at night and reopen during the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"tulip-tinka-in-planter-at-chris-s-600-x-650.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/tulip-tinka-in-planter-at-chris-s-600-x-650.jpg\" alt=\"tulip-tinka-in-planter-at-chris-s-600-x-650.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"651\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e It is the soil situation that is the main factor in determining whether your species tulips become perennials or not. You need well-drained soil for tulips. This is one reason that rocky soil does well with tulips. Soil that dries so much that it cracks in the summer is ideal. We often say to plant you tulips \"high and dry\". That means think about planting in a raised bed that will completely dry out for the summer. Or consider planting them in a crate where the soil can't cling to the roots and the rain water can be absorbed elsewhere. Not only will a crate help protect tulips from rot and help them to perennialize, but critters like voles can't get to them.

But did you know that tulips originally came from the mountains near Afghanistan and Kazakhstan? The tulip then moved toward modern day Turkey where it received its name \"tulipan\" which means turban. There is some disagreement over the origin of the name. The name is either because the shape of the flower looks like a turban or because sultans would stick a tulip in their turban to show their power and wealth. A very powerful sultan in Turkey would give his guests gifts of tulips. That is how around the late 1500s the tulip made it to Holland. Tulip bulbs were used in place of money and stolen out of gardens. In Holland in the 1630s, a handful of tulip bulbs was worth about $44,000 according to the \u003cem\u003eOld Farmer's Almanac\u003c\/em\u003e, and a single tulip bulb could buy an entire canalhouse in Amsterdam. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFun facts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e Tulips generally symbolize deep and perfect love. Striped tulips were greatly prized for centuries. Though not known until 1931, striped tulips were originally caused by a virus that was spread by aphids. If you ever wanted to travel to Holland, try to arrange your trip for April or May when the Keukenhof gardens, the largest tulip garden in the world, has more than 7 million tulips in bloom. Tulip bulbs have been eaten during times of famine. During the particularly harsh winter of 1944-45 in the Netherlands during WWII, the government published recipes on how to make tulip soup and tulip flour for bread. Though we don't recommend it, even actress Audrey Hepburn ate tulips with her family during this time in the Netherlands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFor more information on tulips in the South and what you can do to help them survive, please visit our general Tulip information blog post at \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-size: small;\" href=\"https:\/\/bulbhunter.com\/2021\/01\/is-it-too-late-to-plant-my-bulbs\/\"\u003eBulb Hunter.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Southern Bulb Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44088988139571,"sku":"SB03109","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/Tinka_2525201__27714.1702661057.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772635431"},{"product_id":"gladiolus-byzantinus-byzantine-gladiolus","title":"Gladiolus byzantinus 'Byzantine Gladiolus' - 3 bulbs","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"byzantine-original-art-600-x-450-.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/byzantine-original-art-600-x-450.jpg\" alt=\"byzantine-original-art-600-x-450-.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eOne of the best performers in April is the true heirloom Byzantine gladiolus (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eGladiolus byzantinus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e).

The red dirt with water looked more like the color of blood, and by this point we looked like suspicious characters as we were tired, dirty, and covered in this dirt\/water combination. Nobody said anything though, and we soon had the bulbs at their new home on the farm.

We had about 2,000 Byzantine glads in a nice neat row in our sandy loam soils of Northeast Texas.  I'll never forget when some of the tips of the gladiolus began to look yellow.  While inspecting the row, some of the foliage down the line began to move, almost shake. It wasn't a windy day. When I walked up to the foliage and gently pulled, it came smoothly out of the ground with nothing attached on the other end.  The bulb (technically a corm) had been eaten!

In other words, that shady spot where they bloom in late summer can be under a deciduous tree (the kind that lose their leaves in the winter) which will in turn allow them to grow quite healthy with full sun in the winter. You can leave oxblood lilies undivided for years, and they will come back and bloom more prolifically each year They bloom around September and their foliage remains green all winter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"close-up-oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-bulb-and-flower-600-x-666.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/close-up-oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-bulb-and-flower-600-x-666.jpg\" alt=\"close-up-oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-bulb-and-flower-600-x-666.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"666\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore about the \"Schoolhouse lily\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: middle;\" title=\"school-house-lily-under-trees.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/school-house-lily-under-trees.jpg\" alt=\"school-house-lily-under-trees.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLandscape and Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: The schoolhouse lily will grow to about 10-16 inches tall. These breathtaking beauties actually flourish in the August\/September heat and humidity in the southern United States. They are extremely adaptable to a wide range of soils. They can even thrive in heavy clay, but as with most bulbs, do not try growing oxblood lilies in boggy soils. They like to be drier during the summer months when they are dormant. Because of how well they do in a variety of soil, the lilies look amazing in rock gardens or stretched out along pathways. They make dramatic displays when they are clumped focal points. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e As a good \"rule of thumb\" for the dry bulbs, plant at a depth about three times the height of the bulb itself. This can be confusing with their sometimes long neck, and if the neck is very long, simply have a small portion of the top of the neck above the soil, or plant your bulb sideways. It will eventually turn itself up and the blooms will hardly be affected the first year, and not at all in future years. If you water them 2-3 times a week for a couple of weeks after planting, that will help them adjust to their new home. In the future, the roots will actually pull the bulb down in the soil to help protect it in the cool soil below so when you are ready to divide or share your bulbs be sure to dig down deeper than you think you should. Plant your flowers with 2-3 bulbs per clump for a more natural-looking display.

They can have a full year in the ground before they are expected to bloom. However, you should see foliage in January-April, even if you don't have a first year bloom. Be sure not to cut the foliage, so that the bulb can take in nutrients all throughout its growth cycle.

This contrasts to most flowers that produce their blooms after you have watched the greenery grow first. These lilies are dormant in the summer. Then the flowers suddenly appear with the first later summer and early fall rains. After the flowers die back, the bulb sends up strappy, bright green foliage to take it through the winter and give you some lovely greenery to compliment your spring blooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"-oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-group-of-blooms-600-x-400.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-group-of-blooms-600-x-400.jpg\" alt=\"-oxblood-schoolhouse-lily-group-of-blooms-600-x-400.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Themselves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: Each schoolhouse lily bulb can bloom for 1-2 weeks with stalks that produce 5-6 flowers. Since all bulbs do not produce at the same time, you can often have blooms for around 3 weeks. Each bloom is only open for 2-3 days in the bright summer sun, but they will last longer with cloudy days or if they are blooming in the shade. Some gardeners criticize this shorter bloom time, but many over look this objection due to the vibrancy of the blooms and remembrances of some years when they stay in full color for a few weeks. The blooms themselves look very similar to the Hardy Amaryllis which blooms in the spring. The schoolhouse lilies are not in the same genus as the amaryllis but they have a similar trumpet shape that reminds gardeners of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Plants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: Because of the green foliage through the winter, you have so many things that you can plant with your schoolhouse lilies with to really highlight their non-blooming season.

However, in the spring we ship some flower bulbs with their foliage still on them because the bulbs are growing and have bloomed or are preparing to bloom. Do not be concerned if the foliage is yellow when you receive the bulbs. That is normal. When the customer receives them, the foliage is in the process of drying down naturally. Plant the bulbs, with foliage and all in the ground and let the foliage turn brown and die back naturally. Another option is to not plant the flower bulbs and store the bulbs with the foliage in a cool, dark, and well ventilated spot, and most importantly let the foliage die down naturally. In other words, DON'T cut the foliage of bulbs when you receive them in the green. The browning and dying back of the foliage is the natural process of the bulb sending food and energy from the leaves down into the bulbs for their summer dormancy.

When it is completely dead, then you can cut if off. Remember, the foliage is what takes in the sun energy to allow the bulbs to make it through the year and produce beautiful blooms the next year. Occasionally, if the weather is just right, the grape hyacinth may put on foliage again in the fall. The foliage may last all winter long if it is a mild winter.

If the weather is nice between February and May, you can set the pot outside to take in great nutrients directly from the sun. Be sure to keep the pot out of the temperatures below 34 degrees as the pot gets cold from all sides and can freeze the bulbs.

We often say to plant you tulips \"high and dry\". That means think about planting in a raised bed that will completely dry out for the summer. Or consider planting them in a crate where the soil can't cling to the roots and the rain water can be absorbed elsewhere.

You need well-drained soil for tulips. This is one reason that rocky soil does well with tulips. Soil that dries so much that it cracks in the summer is ideal. We often say to plant you tulips \"high and dry\". That means think about planting in a raised bed that will completely dry out for the summer. Or consider planting them in a crate where the soil can't cling to the roots and the rain water can be absorbed elsewhere. Not only will a crate help protect tulips from rot and help them to perennialize, but critters like voles can't get to them. Don't use \"improved\" garden soils or place the bulbs in an irrigated area. Plant the bulbs about 3x the height of the bulb deep.

But did you know that tulips originally came from the mountains near Afghanistan and Kazakhstan? The tulip then moved toward modern day Turkey where it received its name \"tulipan\" which means turban. There is some disagreement over the origin of the name. The name is either because the shape of the flower looks like a turban or because sultans would stick a tulip in their turban to show their power and wealth. A very powerful sultan in Turkey would give his guests gifts of tulips. That is how around the late 1500s the tulip made it to Holland. Tulip bulbs were used in place of money and stolen out of gardens. In Holland in the 1630s, a handful of tulip bulbs was worth about $44,000 according to the \u003cem\u003eOld Farmer's Almanac\u003c\/em\u003e, and a single tulip bulb could buy an entire canalhouse in Amsterdam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e facts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulips generally symbolize deep and perfect love. Striped tulips were greatly prized for centuries. Though not known until 1931, striped tulips were originally caused by a virus that was spread by aphids. If you ever wanted to travel to Holland, try to arrange your trip for April or May when the Keukenhof gardens, the largest tulip garden in the world, has more than 7 million tulips in bloom. Tulip bulbs have been eaten during times of famine. During the particularly harsh winter of 1944-45 in the Netherlands during WWII, the government published recipes on how to make tulip soup and tulip flour for bread. Though we don't recommend it, even actress Audrey Hepburn ate tulips with her family during this time in the Netherlands. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFor more information on tulips in the South and what you can do to help them survive, please visit our general Tulip information blog post at \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bulbhunter.com\/2021\/01\/is-it-too-late-to-plant-my-bulbs\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eBulb Hunter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Southern Bulb Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44088990662707,"sku":"SB03113","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/Tulipa_252520chrysantha_bicolored-1__37406.1704813619.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772635429"},{"product_id":"sternbergia-lutea-art","title":"Sternbergia lutea Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second of a series of Southern Bulb commissioned art, Ann Swan's \"\u003cem\u003eSternbergia lutea\u003c\/em\u003e\" captures the delicate bloom cycle and romanticism of the rare Southern Fall Crocus. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition 250\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn Swan is an award-winning botanical artist from London, England known for her intricate detail and realism.

A typical technique is to pot a very rocky soil mixture together in a pot, and sink the pot completely under the water in a fish pond or other decorative pool of water.  However, they don’t have to be completely submerged. A regular irrigation system will take care of them. They like it a little more shady and damp, so just remember that when placing them in the garden. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHere at the Southern Bulb Company farm, we’re going to put them with our white rain lilies (\u003cem\u003eZephyranthes candida\u003c\/em\u003e) and our native white spider lilies (\u003cem\u003eHymenocallis liriosme\u003c\/em\u003e) in the thick clays at the edge of our pond.

Many of our old world bulbs like the little jonquil sweeties, old fashioned daffodils, Byzantine gladioli, and more came from Mediterranean places such as the south of Spain.  Calla lilies come to us from South Africa, not a hot bed of early American immigration.  From there though, they were eventually brought to Europe and the United States.  Dr. Bill Welch had them in his old home near Monroe, LA for generations and now has them growing in a decorative galvanized feeding trough near Brenham, TX (the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream).

This also makes for interesting conversations with our customers to make sure that we are talking about the same flowering bulb. The names don't change the striking beauty of this fall-blooming flower. Here in East Texas, we call it the \"red spider lily\". It is red, and the stamens look like spider legs. Along the coast, it is often referred to as a \"hurricane lily\" because it often blooms after the first fall hurricane. Many people call this a \"naked lady\" because it blooms on a naked stalk. Others simply call it a \"surprise\" lily because it shows up out of nowhere and surprises you one day with a flower.

We took the picture on November 1st. The foliage has been popping out of the ground a little over the previous couple of weeks, but now you can really see the stand. All of those different tufts of foliage are bulbs, and someday you will see a beautiful stand of red spider lilies here. In this area because of the super dry summer, not one red spider lily bloomed. However, you can see that the bulbs are growing. The foliage is up and ready to take in nutrients over the next several months while helping the bulbs grow, mature, and multiply. I know you will have to take our word for it, but there wasn't even 1\/2 that much foliage there last year which shows you how quickly the bulbs multiply. The foliage will continue to grow. Even if it gets hit by a winter cold snap, it will have taken in nutrients for months! Always allow the foliage to die down naturally and don't cut it off. If you cut it, you are killing the bulb. Once the foliage is completely dead which is usually around the beginning of May, this area can be mowed. Remember, it takes a lot of energy for the bulb to push that bloom up out of the ground and open wide. The more time the bulbs can take in nutrients, the more energy they will have for that fall bloom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350_10_1.jpg\" alt=\"foliage-at-office-lot-11-1-22-600-x-350.10.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400_1.jpg\" alt=\"field-of-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-soldiers-600-x-400.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSunlight Requirements: Ensuring a Spectacular Bloom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe single most important thing about landscaping with spider lilies is the sun. They need at least 6+  hours a day of WINTER sun. That means about 6-8 hours of sunlight during the winter months. If you look at the photo above, you will see that they are in the shade of the trees. You can be sure that most, if not all, of those trees, will lose their leaves in the winter when the greenery needs sunlight. The spider lily puts on its foliage during the winter (November - May) and that is when it takes in the nutrients it needs to produce those golden flowers the following September. The winter foliage soaks up sun energy during winter as it prepares for summer dormancy. The foliage normally completely dies down by around May.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400.1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400_1.jpg\" alt=\"single-lycoris-radiada-red-spider-lily-from-the-side-on-green-600-x-400.1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and Care Tips for Red Spider Lilies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDon't plant the bulb too deep. You will plant the bulbs 2-3 times deep the height of the bulb (so if your bulb is 2\" tall, then you will plant it 4-5 inches deep). You can plant 2-3 per hole to make the blooms look more natural. Spider lilies really do well in any type of soil. They thrive in soil that has plenty of organic material mixed in, but they do not require fertilizer. Newly planted bulbs would actually be harmed by exposure to fertilizer, so if you are going to apply nutrients, limit the application to established plants when the plants are producing their green leafy foliage during the winter. After planting the bulbs, water the soil thoroughly. Damp soil is ok, as long as the bulbs are in a spot where they will receive plenty of winter sun and the foliage is allowed to die down naturally in the spring. Standing water is not good. Once the summer season starts the spider lily will do best in soil that dries out a bit, as this facilitates its entry into the dormant stage when its leaves die back. This period is followed by its blooming season when it will reward daily watering with long-lasting blooms. Too much moisture in the soil will lead to the bulbs rotting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e: Plant bulbs 2-3 times their height deep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: While adaptable, they thrive in soil rich in organic matter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water thoroughly after planting and during dry periods.

While red spider lily bulbs, like many ornamental bulbs, do contain alkaloids that could cause mild irritation if ingested in large quantities, they are \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e considered dangerous to humans or animals under normal garden conditions. The key is that even for mild irritation they would need to be fully consumed in large quantities. Even if animals chew on the bulbs a little bit, they aren't interested in them (even deer who have been known to eat plastic flowers leave them alone). In fact, they’ve been grown safely in Southern gardens for generations—including in areas with pets and children. You can feel confident they won’t pose a hazard just by being in your garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I plant red spider lilies?

For a plant that has been in cultivation all over the world for millennia, roses have an oddly persistent reputation for  being finicky and disease-prone, difficult to establish, and in need of constant tending. And then you see a sprawling shrub, loaded with yellow blossoms, spilling carelessly over a church dumpster or a climbing mass of red roses clambering over a chain link fence. You wonder why growing a rose bush in your backyard should be so intimidating. Now, veteran gardener and beloved author Judy Barrett tackles the persistent rumors and illusions that inhibit many of us from trying our hand at cultivating roses. She answers the most common questions (how to water, prune, train, and choose the best locations, among others) and then points readers in the direction of the many good choices to be had among both antique and old roses (the Bourbons and China roses, for example) and some newer varieties (hybrid teas, miniatures, and other). She also gives advice about cold-hardy roses and offers tips for ensuring success with heat- and drought-tolerant Earth-Kind roses. Illustrated with gorgeous photographs throughout, \u003cem\u003eYes, You Can Grow\u003c\/em\u003e Roses will convince you that these beautiful plants are not nearly as fussy, frail, and persnickety as you thought.

Welch offer a personal, and in-depth, and entertaining account of some of the great stories gathered during their years as participants in one of the most important plant hunting efforts of the twentieth century--the quest to save antique roses that disappeared from the market in a notoriously trend-driven business. By the 1950s, modern roses (those with one perfect bloom at the top of a long stem) were grown almost exclusively for the cut-flower market. The large rounded shrubs and billowy fence climbers known to our grandparents and great-grandparents in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had been reduced to this rather monotonous single style of plant. Yet those roses of old still grew, tough and persistent, in farmyards, cemeteries, vacant lots, and abandoned fields. The rediscovery of these antiques and the subsequent movement to conserve them became the mission of \"rose rustlers,\" dedicated rosarians who studied, sought, cut, and cultivated these hardy survivors. Here the authors chronicle their own origins, adventures, and discoveries as part of a group dubbed the Texas Rose Rustlers. They present tales of the many efforts that have helped restore lost roses not only to residential gardens but also to commercial and church landscapes in the South. Their experiences and friendships with others in the heirloom rose world bring an insider's perspective to the lore of \"rustling,\" the art of propogation, and the continued fascination with the world's favorite flower.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eInside the back cover\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Greg Grant is the Smith County horticulturist for the Texas A\u0026amp;M AgriLife Extension Service in Tyler.
