Bulbs? Plan now for great color early Spring. Daffodils and
tulips put on a spectacular show while the grass is still dormant. The
daffodils will come back next year. The tulips will not come back, but they
sure do put on a show. Plant them with 04-04-04, bone meal, and flower bed
amendment for the best results. Spray the foliage of the daffodils with18-18-18
Mighty Plant to insure a big bulb; and therefore, big flowers for the following
year. Do not cut the foliage of the daffodil after it blooms. The foliage
replenishes the bulb.
