Hardy bulbs<\/strong> are planted in the fall and will come up in the spring. The reason they are called hardy is that they can survive and actually need a period of cold in order to bloom in the spring or summer. Given a period of 2-4 months of chilling, (perhaps in the refrigerator?!?) many of these bulbs can be forced into blooming early for a nice break in the dark of winter.<\/p>\n

Examples of Hardy Bulbs<\/strong>: Tulips, Narcissus & Daffodils, Lilium, Allium, Leucojum, Galanthus, Arisaema, Mertensia, Dicentra, Crocus, Iris, Colchicum, Erythronium, Fritillaria, Hemerocallis, Hyacinthoides, Muscari, Ornithogalum, Scilla, Anemone blanda<\/p>\n

Tender bulbs<\/strong> are planted in the spring for summer blooming. They cannot withstand the winter and must be dug up and stored in a cool dry place. They\u2019re not as easy to force. These bulbs respond more to daylight and to warmth to start their growth cycle. To give them a headstart I usually start my spring and summer bulbs indoors in the late winter so by the spring the plants will be more substantial in size.<\/p>\n

Examples of Tender Bulbs<\/strong>: Amaryllis, Dahlias, Begonias, Colocasia, Alocasia, Canna, Ipomoea, Gladiolus, Hedychium<\/p>\n

Interested in having these flowers all year long? Visit my online Art Shop and select from an assortment of flowers and gardens.<\/a><\/p>\n

These double daffodils bloom in mid-spring in my garden. It wasn’t until I began to create this Artwork did I realize that these particular flowers are quite fragrant unlike many of the spring blooming varieties. This made for a nice addition to my enjoyment of creation!<\/p>\n
