Soon we will witness the spectacular flowering of narcissus and early tulips.This spectacle will last more or less until the end of April, that is, until perennials appear on the discounts.Bulbs need company to be able to present themselves in all their glory.
Traditionally they are combined with biennial plants, e.g. forget-me-nots or pansies.In modern gardens they look good in combination with flowering perennials with decorative leaves.There is always room for a few bulbs. We plant them, of course, in the fall, but we are already thinking about the next spring.
The present time gives the possibility of a perfect reconnaissance of the area, finding the most favorable positions for the bulbs.It is worth recording this knowledge in photographs (to come back to them in the fall). It is then fairly easy to locate the stands that disappear from sight after the seasonal change of scenery.The impatient ones can buy and plant seedlings right now, these are plants driven in greenhouse conditions.The choice of plants is small, but satisfactory for everyone.
Surrounded by tall tulips and daffodils, early perennials look nice. Already at the turn of March and April, the onion plant has been accompanied by algae, geraniums and tavulas. Higher perennials, such as delphiniums or monkshoods, are not a serious competition for bulbs, because in the period of their flowering they only begin to develop, reaching their full size at the end of May. Until then, they are an attractive green background.
They look good, among others in the vicinity of large-flowered parrots full of tulips and tulips.Small bulbous plants, incl. sapphires and wild tulips, go well with early flowering carpet perennials, e.g.in torches, whales and geese. Such arrangements are irreplaceable, among others in rockeries.
He althy onions of one species / variety are of comparable size and weight. You have to remember this whenever you go shopping in a garden shop.There must be no cavities, dents or discoloration on the surface of the bulbs.Do not buy bulbs that have already sprouted strongly. Narcissi can be sold in varieties with side bulbs (single, double or even triple).
