In other words, DON'T cut the foliage of bulbs when you receive them in the green.

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!

As they swayed in the hot late evening summer breeze, they seemed as if they were garden ghosts guarding the entrance to the forest.  The second story involves a time I was sleeping in an old Texas dog-trot home in deep East Texas harvesting bulbs in the summer heat.  Exhausted and being held up by my clothes that were starched with dried sweat, these lilies continued to bloom.  My third story, is when I found myself in Houston to visit a friend at MD Anderson Cancer Center. After the visit, and definitely feeling gloomy, my companion and I took a walk down through the gardens under the skywalks.  To our delight, and something that brightened up our day, was the large collection of Philippine lilies the head gardener worked into their gardens.

The lovely blooms will last for 2-3 weeks, but the green foliage will add to your garden for at least another month. Allow the foliage to die back naturally. 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.

Like the pot above, you can plant a lot of bulbs in a small pot to have a dramatic showing. 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. Remember that the bulbs will multiply so after the foliage has died back you may want to go ahead and transplant some of the bulbs into other pots for the next season.

Above they are planted around a deciduous tree. Plant the tubers just barely under the surface of the ground. If there is foliage on the tuber, plant the foliage above the soil; however, if there isn't any foliage, you can plant the tuber on its side any direction at all. You can't go wrong. How close together you plant them really depends on your plan. If you want them to look natural quickly, then plant them about 4-6 inches apart. If you are willing for them to look sparse and fill in over the years, then plant them up to 12-18 inches apart. They will multiply quickly so plan on thinning them periodically.

We know april is a little late for a freeze, but 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.

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.

Each leaf is 18-24 inches long and stands tall and proud even in 100+ degree weather. This bulb is drought-tolerant, but it will perform better if you water it during a dry summer. This provides a great \"hedge\" for an area like around a tree. The foliage provides a dark background to showcase small summer flowers like rain lilies or blood lilies or even fall blooms like red or yellow spider lilies or schoolhouse lilies. You can also use it as a foreground plant for tall flowers that may not have great foliage. Or you can even combine these ideas and have multiple layers to your garden that will bloom at different times of the year in the same area. For the foliage alone consider planting it as a centerpiece in your garden.

It will grow to 6 - 8 feet tall. Plant the tubers several inches away from the trellis so they have room to mature and multiply. Plant each tuber about 4-8 inches apart. Water the newly planted tubers daily until you see growth. Then you can reduce the watering to every couple of days. They like to receive the equivalent of about 1 inch a week.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePlace the tubers where they will receive at least 6-8 hours of summer sun. Because they are a topical plant, they need the sun. If you are planting them in zone 8, they will work great in full sun to a little shade; however, due to the extreme temperatures in zones 9 and 10, they work best if given a break from direct sunlight late in the afternoon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN POTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: This beauty does great being placed in pots. Pots would allow someone in a colder zone to grow this summer-blooming beauty that could then be moved into a protected area during the winter. If you plant them in pots, you will need to water more frequently, but make sure that the pot has excellent drainage. The pots can be used indoors though not ideal for this sun-loving vine; however, you will need to make allowances for wintering your plant. Encourage its dormancy by watering it less often after it is done blooming in the late fall. Then in early spring simply start watering it and give it plenty of sunlight. By planting in pots, you are also able to \"contain\" the plant and place it where you want it each season. You may want to try a trellis on a porch one season, a fenceline another, or even place one near your mailbox for a splash of color. The tubers multiply so be sure to check your pots at the end of the season to see if you need to replant some into other pots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"shutterstock-2210337963.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/shutterstock-2210337963.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock-2210337963.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: In the heat of July through fall, this bloom opens wide to show all her colorful glory. \u003cspan\u003eThe blooms extend over a period of about four (4) weeks. \u003c\/span\u003eThe bloom hangs \"upside down\" and then begins the process of opening its six 2-3 inch long red and yellow tepals until they are completely reflexed (bending backwards until pointing upwards).

That is why no two blooms are exactly the same. To encourage blooms and growth, you can add a light fertilizer to the plant monthly. The most common reason for not having successful blooms on the Gloriosa lily is from lack of sun. Too much fertilizer can encourage the plant to grow more foliage instead of blooms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVines\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e The Gloriosa lily is the only tuber\/bulb that we carry that becomes a vine.

To extend the bloom season, keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy), provide morning sun with afternoon shade, and fertilize monthly during the growing period.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eBlooms in zones 10 and 11 may begin as early as June\/July and last for 6-10 weeks. \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"shutterstock-2291504777.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/shutterstock-2291504777.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock-2291504777.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMulitplying\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single rhizome of curcuma can slowly develop into a large clump over a period of just a few growing seasons. After the plant goes dormant, the rhizomes begin to produce new growth. A healthy rhizome can produce several new \"eyes' or shoots in a single growing season. If planted in the ground, you can expect to dig up your rhizomes every 2-4 years to divide. This encourages more vigorous growth and multiplication.

Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 5 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

Yes, you read that correctly -- full summer sun! By planting in full sun the plant will get full of foliage. It will still do okay with at least 7-8 hours day of summer sun.  Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 4-6 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

Yes, you read that correctly -- full summer sun! By planting in full sun the plant will get full of foliage. It will still do okay with at least 7-8 hours day of summer sun.  Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 4-6 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

It forms nice clumps over time, and it won't take long to see yours multiply. It should double in size about every 3 years if planted correctly, and you can divide them at that time which will manage their spread, give them space to expand, and rejuvenate growth.

If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 3-5 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 3-4 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

It forms nice clumps over time, and it won't take long to see yours multiply. It should double in size about every 3 years if planted correctly, and you can divide them at that time which will manage their spread, give them space to expand, and rejuvenate growth.

Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 3-5 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 4-6 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

For the following weeks, we watch with the delight as the eggs hatch and the caterpillars grow plumper and larger. It happens so fast, it is almost magical.

Yes, you read that correctly -- full summer sun! By planting in full sun the plant will get full of foliage. It will still do okay with at least 7-8 hours day of summer sun.  Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1\" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 3-5 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome.

It is extremely ornamental with long, lance-shaped leaves that are 12-20 inches long and 2-4 inches wide. the leaves are boldly striped with creamy yellow-gold against a deep green background. The foliage provides a tropical elegance to your landscape and stands out beautifully in dark afternoon-shaded corners of your garden. The foliage spills out like a fountain. In pots, it tends to grow more upright and tidy which makes it ideal for corners or as a statement plant. This ginger is sometimes called 'Shell Ginger' because of its bloom. The waxy, light pink flower buds appear to be shells before they open. Once open, their yellow petals with red throats are eye-catching. The flowers drrop from the ends of the leafy stems instead of rise up directly from the rhizomes which makes this ginger unique within the ginger family.

Remember that the bulbs will multiply so after the foliage has died back you may want to go ahead and transplant some of the bulbs into other pots for the next season. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eForcing hyacinths is an easy way to enjoy color and fragrance indoors weeks before spring actually arrives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePlanting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eChoose clean pots with drainage holes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFill with well-draining potting mix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSet bulbs pointed end up, leaving the top 1\/2 of the bulb exposed above the soil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eSpace bulbs close together or plant one bulb per small pot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eWater thoroughly after planting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eKeep soil barely moist, not wet until you see growth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eBringing them into bloom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePlace pots to a cool, bright room\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eOnce shoots are 2–3 inches tall, place in brighter light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eKeep temperatures cool (55–65°F) for longer-lasting blooms TIP -- Cooler temperatures slow growth but produce stronger stems and longer-lasting flowers.
