Spring Planted Bulbs
ASARUM Size: as noted “Wild Ginger” The attractive evergreen foliage and curious flowers of asarums attract collectors worldwide. They are among the most beautiful ground- covers and foliage accents for woodlands and shady sites. Plant the rhizomes just below the soil surface in moist, well-drained soil that is high in organic matter. Some species are slow growing, but are well worth the wait. In colder areas they may lose their leaves in the winter.
A. arifolium #SAS48 Heartleaf Ginger. Native to the U.S. from Vir- ginia to Louisiana. The evergreen leaves vary, but are mainly arrowhead-shaped and about 5 inches long, accented with lighter gray-green patterns or veins. Flowers shaped like little brown jugs appear in late spring. Deserving of wider cultivation due to its easy growth habit. Clump-forming plants grow up to 18 inches wide and are both deep-rooted and drought-resistant. Top size bare root plants.

BEGONIA X TUBERHYBRIDA This genus was named after a French botanist in the 1600’s, and although there are more than 350 species, the hybridized tuberous begonias are the most widely used. They prefer a location out of direct sun with good moisture. Hardy only in Zone 10, bulbs should be lifted in the fall and replanted in the spring. Start 6 to 8 weeks before outdoor planting time and enjoy blooms from June until frost. Use: border, pots.
