Time to think about planting bulbs – Yes, really!

Early summer is the best time to view your landscape to see where additional color may be needed for next spring, and to plan for fall bulb planting.

When purchasing bulbs for spring or summer bloom, they should be of the highest quality to ensure vigor. After spring blooms fade, the foliage should not be removed until it has turned yellow. As long as the foliage is green, it is photosynthesizing and this will provide the bulb with the needed energy for next year’s blooms. To improve the beauty of your landscape,  please call a landscape professional to discuss your spring bloom program.
