Bulbs to trade - spring and summer bulbs
I have:
at least 4 bulbs of a dark orange lily (above is a pic of one that volunteered in a pot I had put a tiny daylily in - you're welcome to the daylily, as well, probably South Seas)
12 Calla lily baby bulbs - sown from seed last year, no idea what color, assume white
19 Peruvian Daffodil bulbs
a sandwich baggie or two of red tulips - they spread like crazy! (here it is zone 5, clay, I do nothing for them but cut them back when the foliage is brown, they multiply happily)
The Peruvian Daffodil is not hardy to zone 5, I overwintered it in my basement, it seems to love part sun and moisture and being slightly pot-bound.
I have a huge Want list that I'd love to shorten by trading, but I am willing to do SASE if you send the money first. I'm not going to go hounding after people for SASE money again. Right now I'm on a Hosta kick, and working on my shade gardens, but I also have a Sci-fi/space themed garden - there are tons of iris and daylilies named after spacey things, named after Star Trek, and Star Wars, etc.
Thanks!

Comments (4)Will the field be mowed at least a couple of times a year now? Daffodils and narcissus are hardy, critter-proof and many are relatively tall, but unless the grass is mowed in the fall, I think they will have a tough time coming up through the tangle of old dead grass. And at least at my house, only the early daffs would be really visible before the grass in the field began to hide them as it grows at least as tall as the daffodils. I have daffodils at the edge of a field, with mown grass in front of it and a hedge and the field behind. We have to mow the back field several times a year to keep it grass rather than growing up into shrubs and saplings....See MorePlanting spring bulbs with summer perennials
Comments (2)Late to the parade, but I do think you have a good idea with tulips and daffodils followed by veronica and daylilies...In my own garden, I had critters get every last tulip bulb I planted. If you have rabbits, mice or voles the daffodils and maybe hyaciths are a better route to go. I heavily invested (for me) in daylilies and irises. The deer have not bothered them. You may ant to consider a third wave of flowers like rubeckia, daisies and echinacea, They bloom later in summer. Dianthus, in my neck of the woods, only lasts 2-3 years. I recommend if you need to replant; things that bloom in early spring, replant in the fall. Other things do it early in spring (before bloom) or well after bloom (a few weeks after). If you dig up something by accident, just replant. A lot of what you are planning on growing is forgiving....See More
