Three bulbs for Summer

December 4, 2008 Ben Garden

It’s not too late to plant out some bulbs to keep your garden in colour through to autumn. Here are six of my all time favorites!

Dahlia – many forms, colours such as red, pink, yellow, white and purple. They enjoy full sun, plenty of manure and fertilizer.

Canna – growing to two meters tall, cannas are tougher than old boots. With a little tlc they can be beyond stunning! Full sun, moderate water and soil full of organic matter will have them blooming for months.

Pineapple lilly – up to 60cm in height, large green spikes form masses of small white flowers, perched on top is a bunch of leaves representing a pineapple.
