A rhizome is a bulb that’s lengthy, not spherical … and sure, I do know there’s extra to it than that. It is attainable to have “plant and neglect” bulbs blooming all 12 months spherical. Go for the hardy ones: plain yellow daffodils, Paperwhite or Earlicheer jonquils, bearded iris, Louisiana iris in spring, then summer time and autumn’s belladonnas, and dahlias in all their different glory, from neat miniatures to nice plate-size flowers, or single-petaled ones that dance like butterflies within the wind, and tree dahlias to flower in Might and even June if the frosts aren’t too extreme. Agapanthus now are available in tall, medium and miniature, with some varieties that bloom for greater than six months of the 12 months, in white via many shades of pale to darkish blue, purple and even pink. There are additionally winter-blooming aggies, although in our backyard they wait until spring to flower. Simply be sure that the label guarantees that no matter selection you plant won’t ever develop into a weed.
