Bulbs and Tubers
The bulbs from Lewis Ginter may take a couple of years to reach full strength after planting. So if the results aren't what you hope after a year, you should see improvement each year thereafter. I received a beautiful bouquet this spring from a buyer who planted several varieties of the bulbs from this sale last year and the year before. Many people do not wait until fall to plant the bulbs but plant them immediately after the sale.
