What you say? I thought Fall was the time to plant bulbs. Well it is, but certain bulbs from South Africa can be planted in
January. Some of the most colorful, fuss-free and reliable bulbs are Freesia, Sparaxis (harlequin flower) and Ixia (corn lily). They like being planted twice the depth of the bulb in loose, fertile soil with a bit of bulb food or bone meal. The nice thing about these bulbs is that because of where they are from, they don't need a winter and so there is no need to refrigerate before planting.
Most of these bulbs come in a multitude of colors from pinks and reds to yellows, oranges, purples and whites. If you're interested in having beautiful flowers bloom in mid-spring, call us soon as these should be put in the ground between September and early February.
