Tips

“Tulips, hyacinths and other spring bulbs so adored in more northern climes just don’t cut it in Florida. Pre-chilled bulbs will bloom, but the year-round growing conditions in Florida never allow temperate bulbs to ‘recharge’ their batteries. Leaves, but seldom flowers, may struggle to the surface the second year... the third year – kaput!”
