It\u2019s that time of year again. The weather is hot, and the days are long. The plants are growing, blooming, and the season is in full swing. The last thing on your mind is spring bulbs! This time of year, bulbs are at the forefront of mine.\u00a0 Updating our bulb selection and preparing for our Early Order Bulb Program can take quite a bit of time. Last year, we revamped the program. Largely due to the quantity increase from 50 tulips per box to 100 per box and the daffs from 50 to 75. Along with the increased quantities in these bulb sizes, we added an additional value to our customers by offering quantity breaks at 2 boxes for all of our Crocus and unusual varieties, including Chionodoxa, Hyacinthoides, Iris, Muscari, and Scilla.<\/p>\n

The Early Order Bulb Program allows our customers to take advantage of some substantial savings. Although there is still a discount for the more boxes you buy, it doesn\u2019t even compare to the savings of getting that order in quickly!<\/p>\n

This season we have added a few more selections to choose from.<\/p>\n

‘Rijnvelds Early Sensation’- This trumpet narcissus is the earliest to bloom in the spring, often blooming right alongside the crocus. Holds its own against cold spring climate. Bright yellow, boasting big 3\u201d blooms. 75 per box<\/p>\n

\"Rijnvelds\"Blushing<\/p>\n

‘Blushing Lady’- This daffodil is in our \u201cbunch\u201d category. Buttery pale yellow with pale peach\/ pink cups. Two to three flowers on each stem, they stand about 16\u201d tall. Bloom time is April. 75 per box<\/p>\n

‘Minnow’ – These dwarf narcissus are super cute! Pale, creamy white petals with yellow cups. These charmers are approximately 8\u2019 and have approximately 2-5 flowers per stem. Great naturalizer! Mid spring. 100 bulbs per box<\/p>\n

\"Minnow\"Royal<\/p>\n

‘Royal Virgin’- Beautiful, pure white \u201cTriumph\u201d tulip. Traditional shape, strong stemmed. 16\u201d-20\u201d tall and bloom time of mid-April. 100 per box<\/p>\n

\u201cDoberman\u201d- Deep red\/burgundy \u201ctriumph\u201d tulip with contrasting yellow edges. Absolutely striking in its color! Mid spring. 100 per box<\/p>\n

\"Doberman\"Bulb<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, every season we lose a few varieties that we have enjoyed. The good news is that there are so many fun choices it is exciting to see what each season holds in store! Be on the lookout for our bulb mailer that should land mid-July, but you can digitally check it out and print it if you click here!<\/a> (The password is the same as the availability password on your e-mail) We also have the flyers at all our service counters. And don\u2019t forget your BulbTone!!<\/p>\n
