Hello Danielle, crocosmia Lucifer is a stunner and a beast and blooms through the whole garden year (and will need some space) Maybe you should consider to grow paeonia -Karl Rosenfield- too? And, please, let us be together -out of style-! Some years ago Hydrangeas have been -soooo out of style- that everyone banned them from their gardens (not me, there are about 25 of them in my garden. And now look at us (better look out for new Hydrangeas before somebody notices that they are very in style now) Oh, if I only had a place for the the lily Mapira, oops (do not ask, who ordered 3 new DA roses yesterday, was it realy me. Thanks for all the recommendations, I loved all of the flowers. Happy gardening and stay safe! Out of style Hanni.

Your flowers are gorgeous! The colors are amazing. I ordered cool flowers also. I planted some of the cool flowers in the fall but not as many as I wanted to. I will have way more than last year! I know I have told you this before but you have no idea how much your videos have helped me and I love when you do the how to grow and cut a bla bla bla whatever type of flower. That and so many other helpful videos. I can go straight out to the garden and plant based on your instructions and the vase life info works everytime! So thank you and please keep sharing. Your info is tried and true!

I've grown a pretty common orange crocosmia for a while but I have wanted some red Lucifer crocosmia for years! I totally need to order some! I remember an older gentleman in the town where I grew up who had dahlias and he would mound up the soil over them each year and he didn't pull them up. That was in Salem Oregon. I know it is possible! I found beautiful bulbs at Costco yesterday and splurged on dahlias, gladiolas, two kinds of lilies as well as clematis. Can't wait to plant.

Your planted Amaryllis bulbs for the Nursing Home. beautiful! I am going to work with our local Senior Center next year to do something similar within our community, I know many will be onboard to make this happen. You are such an inspiration. PS: Can't wait for my Spring bulbs, lilies in the ground, already have the peonies, and dahlias pre-ordered for Spring. Just have no more room for glads. which I will have to work on. my dad always had them in his garden.

Evening my dear.
I'm totally with you on Gladiola. I have always loved them and still do.
I have left mine in the ground and some did come back.
Eventually none came back.
StarGazer Lily is another favorite. I have had them growing for years and oh how they multiple.
I want more traditional flowers in my garden.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful creations put here on earth to help people be happy and smile.

Even though we share totally different climate zones (mine is temperate New Zealand) I so appreciate all the information you provide Danielle. It is our bulb planting time and am gradually getting all mine in. Interesting what you said about the gladioli - I have always loved them and when I was living in Australia I grew plenty. Unfortunately people used to say -why are you growing those 'Nana flowers'-. Bizarre what some people think.

I love gladioli! I-m curious to see if some of the varieties you chose are true to color. My Green Star was yellow, tricolore was beautiful but definitely a lighter pink and maroon color. I-ve tried black beauty from two different suppliers trying to get that black bud that opens to maroon but got more of an orange-red. I-m curious to see if espresso is better. Can-t wait for an update on some of those lavender and purple glads -

Sounds like your collection is going to be beyond gorgeous this season! Thank you for sharing it with us: ) I have had almost every single one of those lilies you mentioned but unfortunately rabbits have been eating them all! Do you have issues with rabbits and if so what do you to save your plants? This year the 'pandemic' rabbits have eaten almost everything including hydrangeas and rose bushes!

Lucifer is one variety of crocosmia. When you look into it, you will find many interesting orangey/red/yellow varieties all flowering well in late summer and into autumn when many flowers are finishing. Crocosmia is very easy to grow and forms larger clumps every year here in the south oats of England. I have grown it for years, having been introduced to it by my mother in law almost 50 years ago.

What I particularly like about Longfield Gardens is that their bulbs are available at Costco just a few weeks before planting time - at prices close to places that sell topsize (including retail) in bulk. No advanced planning necessary. BTW The hardy gladiolus Atomic may not be as huge but it to my understanding can withstand winters even here in Northern New England.

Thanks for the tips on Dahlias. I grew them for the first time this year. I too did not like digging them up. I was so careful and still ruined a few tubers. I packaged them the way you-re supposed to but they are starting to look dehydrated. I-m afraid to spray them with water for fear that mold will grow. I-m going to try your friend-s method next year.

The need to dig up dahlias has always been why we-ve never bothered growing them in our Zone 5. However, this year, we couldn-t resist giving them a try even as a annual so we got some from Longfield Gardens. Can-t wait to see how they do for us. and maybe, just maybe, we will dig them up in the fall.

Great video with some stunning plants for the new growing season. I will definitely be trying out the double lilies! I also love Crocosmia. I grew up in Ireland and the orange version grows wild along most country lanes in the west of the country. Lucifer is the red cultivar and it is lovely.

You are my cut flower guru! I ordered so many bulbs for this spring. Gladiolus! I never even considered it! My dad grew so many of these when I was a kid. Off topic larkspur (annual) and delphinium (perennial) seeds, light or not to germinate. My goodness so much conflicting info online.

It-s really cool that you bought plants in honor of your grandmother. I started buying plants in memory of my mother who is still alive at 90 and she no longer gardens but I-ll appreciate what I bought in her honor even though she doesn-t. In this case it was a dwarf Fuji apple tree.

Hello Danielle! How are the dahlia bulbs you buried in the ground? Are they doing ok? Do they have signs of sprouting? It'll be great if you can post a video on that! I'm located in zone 6 Canada Toronto! It'll be nice not to dig dahlia roots out every winter!

What a great tribute to your grandma for growing crocosima! I am growing irises and roses not only in honor of my mother that passed away 12 years ago, which were her favorite, but I do love them also. I guess that is the way we appreciate flower gardening.

May I suggest that you look out for the gladiola Black Jack. I grew it this year and its gorgeous. SThe buds are like black velvet when closed and open as a deep aubergine but when the sun hits it they become more like the deepest red inside the trought.

I'm controlling myself from placing another order because Longfield Gardens sells bulbs and roots at Costco. I can never resist when it's staring at me in the face. I bought so many peonies last year, I can't even remember where or what I planted.

I am starting to work with the Growing Kindness Project. Do you think Longfield Gardens would be open to donating some bulbs for that kind of project? I'd like to work with my local nursing home as well--esp for seniors that get little to no visitors.
