“Is it too late to plant spring flowering bulbs?”
This question was asked by WGN Midday News (WGNtv.com) and may be on the minds of concerned gardeners as winter approaches. Chalet answered this question and addressed some of the myths and fables of horticulture during a free seminar Nov. 7 and 8. They said mid November is the perfect time to plant because as the temperature drops, the bulbs will root in the ground and grow in the spring. Daffodils and narcissus make great beginners bulbs since they multiply on their own each year and remain critter-proof. Chalet also recommends the blue scilla sibirica. It’s favored in their gardens and grows well in the springtime if planted in November.
