Mark, I would try Ipheion, Anemone spp., Nerine, Cyclamen, dwarf Narcissi, and Alstroemeria (although this last might fill the trough with roots too quickly) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Smyth" <mark@marksgardenplants.com> To: "pbs" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 12:06 PM Subject: [pbs] bulbs for year round interest hi all Over the winter months I'm planning to convert 5 large plastic troughs into tufa troughs. My plan is to have small bulbs only and have something in flower all year. Each trough will have for example two small Tulips species I just cant think of bulbs to buy other than spring bulbs and Colchicums. What do you suggest? The troughs will be in full sun.
