In Like a Lion
My Red Lion Amaryllis are a welcome site during the first gray weeks of March. Outside, Hellebore are pushing through the semi frozen ground. They love the cold winters and thrive covered with ice and snow. I stop my impulse to cut them and bring inside. The trick with hellebore are to wait until the seed pod forms. This ensures a long vase life and straight stems. Mid-month, I started planting cold hardy annuals outside. Lisianthus, stock, feverfew, rudbeckia and statice went into the ground. Here’s a video I made about the Lisianthus, they are so tiny! My annual plant seedling sale is here. Every year I sow a few more seedlings for you. These are the same flowers I use in my bouquets. Zinnia, ageratum, cosmos, celosia, marigolds and more. Order now and pick up around Mother’s Day when it’s safe to plant outside. Enjoy your own cutting garden!…
