Dreaming of a dazzling spring garden? Now’s the time to make it happen. Join Fine Gardening’s Editor in Chief, Carol Collins, for a live conversation with bulb expert and author Joseph Tychonievich—and get all your spring-bulb questions answered.
From daffodils that shrug off deer to tulips worth replanting year after year, Joseph has tested, trialed, and written about the most reliable (and breathtaking) spring bloomers. You’ll hear his best tips for:
- Sourcing and choosing bulbs that will thrive in your climate and garden conditions
- Designing plantings for maximum impact and minimal maintenance
- Hiding fading foliage without sacrificing style
- Dealing with common bulb pests and problems
- Experimenting with containers, lawns, and unexpected planting spots
This will be an interactive question-and-answer session, so bring your bulb dilemmas and curiosities—whether you want to know which crocus is worth planting by the hundreds, how to keep squirrels away from tulips, or which bulbs perform best in shade. Submit your questions in advance, and Joseph will tackle them live.
When you leave this webinar, you’ll have practical know-how of bulb care and tons of inspiration for creating a spring display that stops traffic.
