A few inexpensive pots of snazzy red tulips, golden daffodils or purple crocus can brighten a dreary spring day. |
The city will reap the benefit in the spring when daffodils and crocus give the city's parks and verges a splash of colour. |
The tulip is followed in popularity by the daffodil and other narcissi, the gladiolus, the lily and the crocus. |
Early spring awakens with crocus and forsythia, and this is also your cue to take care of moss in the lawn with a spring feed and moss control. |
As far as planting goes, the smaller crocus should be planted so the tips of the bulb are two inches below the soil's surface. |
The crocus, the cowslip and its near relation, the primrose and the other early wild flowers will soon follow. |
