Nov. 13: Spring-flowering Bulbs for Southern California Gardens with Lili Singer
Fall is bulb-planting time! This class presents spring-blooming bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes from California and South Africa – colorful survivors that thrive in this climate, and regrow and reflower each spring, without replanting. Along with selection and care, we’ll discuss companion plants, container culture, and bulbs for cutting and bulb sources.
