T. ‘Easter Moon’
Almost all spring flowering bulbs prefer to be DRY in their
summer dormancy or ‘while they are sleeping’. If your bulbs
are disappearing, chances are they are getting too much
summer irrigation. Make raised beds for better drainage
and only water your summer annuals when necessary!

double petals with
greenish markings
