It’s practically December, but like many gardeners I’m already thinking about spring. One big element of that thinking is how to maximize the power of flower bulbs, and though you might have already planted some in the ground earlier this fall, there are still opportunities to call more bulbs into play. 

It’s not too late to force pots of bulbs that can add extra color to your outdoor spring displays, for instance, or prepare others to provide indoor cheer while we wait. You just need to know a few strategic tactics, which today’s guest is here to share. 

Bulbs are one important element in Peggy Anne Montgomery’s garden that she shares with her husband Dan Benarcik in Wilmington, DE,  a popular destination on Garden Conservancy Open Days tours and one of the exceptional private gardens featured in the book “American Roots”. Peggy Anne is a professional horticulturist and part of the team at Garden Media Group, where she represents Dutch Royal Anthos, a trade organization for Dutch bulb growers and exporters in the U.S. and Canada.
