Spring Bulbs We Love!
March 5, 2023
March is prime time for planting spring bulbs, and we have a fantastic selection to choose from. Here are some of Tina and Bob’s favourites to try:
Cleopatra Canna
No two plants are alike! Foliage is a combination of medium green and burgundy, while blooms are a combination of red and yellow petals, the yellow petals often speckled with red.
Stuttgart Canna
Cold leaves are a combination of green and pure white, almost similar to hosta. The bold orange blooms add even more interest in summer.
Amandine Ranunculus
This selection features tight clusters of petals on strong stems, in pastel colours of pink, white and salmon.
Reinette Ranunculus
These ranunculus blooms feature bright blooms in shades of pink and orange. As the blooms unfurl, they reveal tight clusters of green petals in the center.
Anemone Lord Lieutenant
Layers of blue petals with a cute black button center.
Anemone The Governor
Double layers of deep crimson petals create poppy-like blooms with a deep black button center.
Anemone Sylphide
Deep violet-pink petals form poppy-like blooms, with powdery black stamens in the center.
Hardy Cyclamen
Unlike many of our spring bulbs, these are hardy for our area, no need to lift in the fall! Marbled, heart shaped leaves beneath pretty pink butterfly shaped blooms in late summer.
Dahlia Smokey Amethyst
This blend of decorative dahlia features 4-6” blooms in contrasting shades of lilac and dark purple.
Dahlia Poodle Skirt
Wine coloured ‘poofs’ surrounded by arched petals that form a ‘poodle skirt’!
Dahlia Rip City
If you’re a Yellowstone fan, you’ll love it just for the name….but for gardeners, it’s the deep crimson blooms with the black center that will win you over.
