Spring & Summer Bulbs

Is January too late to plant spring bulbs? You can try it but most likely you’ll be wasting your time. You can, however, plant iris and other summer blooming bulbs or rhizomes. Click here for information on spring bulbs. Click here for information on iris and other summer bulbs.

A Favorite Plant

Pink muhly grass is a beautiful, fall-blooming grass that is native to the Sandhills. It has an ethereal appearance, especially when the sun is directly behind it. It’s stunning in mass plantings. For information click here.

Things To Do During the Winter Months

During those long, cold winter days when you have a hankering to work in the garden, don’t despair. You can get your hands dirty by sowing seeds indoors, spend time lovingly tending them, and then move them outdoors in the spring.
