Fall Planting Garden Bulbs

Schubertii alliums are 4-6" across in bloom size and stand 16" tall. They are a loose head allium where they bloom close to the center and far away giving you a multidimensional look to the blossom size. We did a close up of the blossom to show that mutlidimensional charactersitic of this allium.  They are a cost effective alternate to Giant Alliums. When massed together they give a whimsical and wonderful effect in the gardens and for your flower arrangements. Allium bulbs are splendid for naturalizing if planted in rich, well-drained soil.  Additional Information Partial Shade - Full Sun  Attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies  Deer, Rabbit, and Roden Resistant  Great for Naturalizing, Beds and Borders, and Landscaping  Fragrant  Ships starting in September and goes through December typically Planting and Maintenance Information:  Must be planted in the Fall  Soil temperatures must be 55 F or below  The ideal soil pH level for flower bulbs is between 6-7  Require a minimum of 6 weeks of cold to chill to root properly  Height: 16"  Spread: 2-4"  Spacing: 6-8"  USDA Zone: 4-7

Easter Charm Bearded Iris - Irises with dark tops and lighter colors on the bottom are such an unexpected sight. All the petals are ruffled with yellow edging. The beard sports creamy white, while the upper is an ombré of purple to light purple. A fantastic flower in all respects. This is slight shorter coming in at 30” which means it will have some earlier blooms than the very tall one. It could be a blossom or extreme or full a gap in iris blossoms - height does matter! If you aren’t sure, go ahead and measure them this season and take some notes.  Bearded Irises are wonderful.
