Skiekitty...like Steve said...hyacinths a few years after planting peter out. Does anybody know they best time to fertilize bulbs..after they bloom?
I agree Steve each climate has its pro's and con's. I do know as far as gardening I would REALLY miss my lilacs and peonies if I lived in the south where they can't be grown...but then you can grow tea and china roses.
Mike your lilacs are blooming already! WOW! The fragrance of Lilacs is HEAVENLY!
I bought 3 "Boomerang" reblooming Lilacs last year...anxious to see how they grow. I suppose they will shut down when it gets real hot but they will certainly extend my lilac bloom season.
Have you ever been to the Lilac Festival on Mackinac Island?
They have 200 year old Lilac TREES of the likes I've never seen before!

Also looking forward to my Lilies if the Valley to bloom...can't snort them enough!
Have yet to try and gorw Wisteria but they are stunning!
HAPPY SPRING EVERYBODY!
